I love it - the flavor, smell, texture. Plus it's good for you - how can you go wrong! I've been seeing great coconut oil recipes all over the internet lately. I'm going to have to try your suggestion of popping pop corn in it. That's a way better choice than butter! .-= Julie @ Organic Virgin Coconut Oil´s last blog ..<a href="http://organicvirgincoconutoil.org/contact-and-dofollow-keywordluv-info.htm" rel="nofollow">Contact and DoFollow, Keywordluv Info</a> =-.

I was just exchanging emails with food renegade about this subject. My cholesterol jumped up 26 points in less than a year, bringing it to 203. My HDL is good, at 60. However, one of the only changes I've done in the past eight months is add coconut oil to my soaked oatmeal and coffee (YUM). While my triglycerides are wonderful (35), it was shocking to see such a huge jump in such a short amount of time. However, foodrenegade and my doctors are not concerned at all. But, I do find it's hard not to place the blame on adding something new. Though, I do admit, I didn't increase my coconut oil amount drastically over the past several months. So, it probably has nothing to do with that. Though, since I did add a bit more coconut oil, fermented cod liver oil and kombucha, I expected another decrease in numbers - Not such a huge increase! Therefore, I'm very very perplexed. Great article, though, helping ease my mind that it probably wasn't the coconut oil that did it. Ack.
