Coconut Oil healthy?

Personally, I hate coconut. I can't stand the smell of it, and I can't stand the taste of it. I just can't stand anything coconut! Even lotions and lip balms! Even if it were to have these great benefits, I don't think I could stomach it!

Hi lumen. I really don't know if it is healthy or not. Coconut is wonderful for health I know this and years ago people cooked with vegetable fat of coconut and none got sick. I use ever soy oil because it is healthy and have a good price. I really never follow the mode of healthy things because it change every time. Each time they say one different thing and we get lost. Because of it I use what I know for experience that is good. In these bad times we need to save money so why pay more for one thing if we can have a good thing for less. If you want to lose weight and keep good health drink green tea every day. I do this and I can say it work. Have a good day.

I love coconut oil. It is great to use to fry eggs with, especially with purple friend onions. Coconut onion gets rid of viruses and good for dry skin. Good for the thyroid too and to help increase your energy level. Keeps the flu away too. I understand it is also good to combat HIV.

I haven't tried coconut oil, but it has been recommended to me several times, as it is supposed to help with an underactive thyroid. Even a teaspoon a day, apparently, is supposed to aid in weight loss and in ridding someone of hypothyroid like symptoms. To be honest, I find it works well just to eat a balanced diet and stay active, so I haven't felt a need to try the coconut oil, but if used in moderation, I would imagine it might be a semi-healthy addition to a person's diet.
