Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi Dana, Not sure what answer will be about virgin, but if you're like me and love the coconut flavor itself, you might be a little disappointed. Our co-op has orderd from this company and gotten wonderful service. However, we just placed our last order as, for us, (southern AZ) the shipping became too high, as much as 30% as we're ordering up to 2,000 lbs of products at a time. So keep shipping costs in mind as you make decisions. >I want to buy this coconut oil >http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/category/expeller-pressed-organic-cocon\ ut-oil.php ONLY speaking from my own experience.

It's still organic and expeller-pressed. > +++Hi Dana, Dr. Bruce Fife, the expert on coconut oil, writes this: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/coconut7.php " The first thing to look for is a Virgin coconut oil. I recommend virgin coconut oil over non-virgin or RBD oil. RBD stands for refined, bleached, and deodorized. The less processing a food undergoes the higher the nutrient content and the healthier it is. Processing removes and destroys nutrients. Virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconut without high heat or chemicals.<<<NOTE. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Darn it all, that's too bad, I really get tired of that coconutty flavor... it overpowers all other flavors so that I don't like to even add it to my food or cook in it, I have to take it by the spoonful separately.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Now I'm confused. Are you saying that ONLY virgin coconut oil is acceptable? I am quite sure, in the past, the tropical traditions expeller pressed (non coconutty flavored) oil was mentioned as being an acceptable product. Has this changed?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 So to be absolutely clear, non-virgin coconut oil, as long as it is not refined, etc, will still have all the health benefits and help to heal my body just as well as virgin?
