Thank you...it is not that I dislike it internally...but it flavors my food so much.
I was thinking maybe a soup with curry and basil...Thai-like...coconut oil
might enhance that ....what do you like it in?
....I mean those that are into coconut oil...it is just a small group of us, I think.

When I use it to cook with it's mostly in Asian dishes. I usually sauté my protein or veggies in it with some sesame oil. I've also used it for pie crusts for flavors that benefit from coconut or in place of butter in crumble toppings.

Try oil pulling for your teeth.

Also put it in your hair/scalp once a month.

Crazy as it may sound, my hubby LOVES it in his coffee vs cream! Give it a try...realize it is not for everyone, but he has found it something he enjoys!

I like to pop my popcorn with it....seems to give it a nice flavor, although the kind I've been using is so refined, I think, that it doesn't actually have much of a taste.

Well, I have changed my attitude and love the taste of coconut oil in
my morning omelet! I guess the brand I have is very fragrant.

I'm also doing great having some in my coffee, also with cream.

I never would have thought I would.
Thank you you all.

I'm going to see if I can find that youtube on an Alzheimer's patient that
can not draw a clock face....then after eating coconut oil...he CAN!
Something unique coconut oil has....but in general, being in ketosis helps
tremendously according to studies.

I know mentally I am better!
