I had dropped coconut oil from my cooking because of articles about high saturated fat content.

I am going to start using it again. My family is from a coastal town in India and we used coconut milk in curries for a long time. In fact my father was told it was the cause of his heart problems.

I don't doubt that coconut oil can be part of a healthy diet and has benefits. However, I'd like to point out that mother's milk contains immunoglobulins from the mother's immune system which are almost certainly the main, if not the only reason why mother's milk provides some immunity.
In addition, the [single] study done that supports the idea that coconut oil decreases HIV viral load was, to be kind, full of holes and far too small, with only 2 patients experiencing a significant decrease in viral load (out of 15), while others experienced significant increases or no change.

Hi! I just ordered some coconut oil for cooking, too but before I read your comment about avoiding the plastic containers. I ordered the Nutiva. I tried to cancel my order but it was too late. I'll buy the glass from now on but what am I actually losing by buying the plastic? I'm so bothered by it now cause I ordered 2 bottles. Grrrrrrrr

from whattofeedyourkids.com…
Nutiva comes in plastic bottle so I avoid it. Fat leaches most into fat from plastic so I avoid plastic containers. I buy organic coconut oil in a glass container and I haven't found much difference in brands so I buy whatever is cheapest.

I just stumbled upon the greatness of coconut oil. We have been on the GF diet for 8 months and hopefully, this wonderful oil will aid in our health.

Do you have a favorite brand? I was currently going to purchase the Harvest Bay and the Nutiva to compare.

We love it too. In fact, I have a post I started on coconut oil that I need to finish. I use it after each shower on my skin, to remove mascara, for cooking, mixed with honey when sick, and we give it to the dog who absolutely loves it. The minute she hears the jar opening she is there!

hi there, I am roe and I am from the Philippines. I was searching for an info about the good sources of Glutathione when I hopped into this page about the healing wonders of the coconut oil. Thanks for mentioning Malaysia and my country, the Philippines for potential sources of this miraculous oil. Yes, we have tons and tons of coconuts in the country but the coconut farmers are not getting enough support since they are focused into harvesting rice. My family owns a farm and thinking of a business, I guess I’ll push the coconut oil business. Just recently they have discovered that young coconuts in the Philippines can produce a Virgin Coconut oil to fight the budding cancer cells. VCO is the leading brand. Most people take a sponfull of it everyday for health reasons. With relevance to the HIV cells and how the coconut oil minimizes them, I’ve read in one article 5 years ago that consuming coconut water decreases the HIV virus in the body at around 50%.
