Re: Coconut Oil??
Just to clarify, it has to be cold-pressed virgin coconut oil. I use it for cooking eggs. Some people here in the Philippines take it straight from the bottle like cough syrup.
I can't really say if it improved my lipid profile since I'm on Atkins that that alone will do it.Robbie T., 240/180/160. 41yr Male, Height 5'9"

Re: Coconut Oil??
I used it briefly, but was unable to evaluate its supposed health benefits, as I stopped using pretty quickly. Here in Italy it's hellishly expensive, so I reverted to our wonderful EVOO.
I too, will be interested to see what others have to say about it.Before and after:
