Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Annette, There are two things I would like to ask you: a) Is the Philippine Oil you sell to your customers treated with refrigeration and then put out in an 80+degree F room temperature and then let the oil come out on its own? We use the above method, and then using very very very low heat and filtering in between has given us a very good kind of oil. Very clear and transparent, very light and tasteless. When I put it on oatmeal I could not taste it. When I put it in very hot coffee then a very slight trace of the coconut oil is present and yet because of the very slight taste of the coconut oil and lightness of the oil, it didn't make me want to puke anymore. To show you the low level of temperature we use, a 220V electric stove is connected to 110V outlet and we used the lowest setting which is warm. We leave it there for a few hours. The oil does not even get hot at all but the water somehow disappears. We leave our oil on the kitchen countertop for weeks and sometimes months, depending on how much we make, and it does not change at all. I know of a lady who produces very good oil almost like ours (I just don't know what method she uses, definitely not enzyme) and she exports to Japan. Japan is stricter than the US when it comes to the quality of food they let in to their country. She also sells locally and at a very low price compared to the other out in the market here. Have you heard of coconut oil extracted by enzyme? There is someone who experimented using enzymes from vegetations. He was able to extract oil, but the test showed that the oil was high in linoleic acid. Is that bad? If so, why? Its lauric acid content is just like the other oils around. Thanks for taking the time.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I have one question for you. Do you have anything to do with the TT egroup?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I did not consider anything she said slanderous, she is just stating facts as she sees them. Funny how no one on the TT group is interesting in anything most of us have to say unless it is a competitor. cracks me up! Independent laboratories do our certificates of analysis regularly and on random samples. The statement that she made concerning our moisture content clearly slanders Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slander is " a false and malicious oral statement injurious to a person's reputation, " so yes, telling incorrect things about a competitor's product is improper to say the least. I'm not assuming any malicious intent, and she may be innocently relying on old information, but if she got the numbers on TT wrong, it's only appropriate that point that out. I'm not for or against any manufacturer or reseller and I'm glad to let anyone speak about their own product so I can evaluate for myself. Since TT has its own e-mail group, why *would* they interfere with this one except to correct misconceptions about their product? Really!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Dasha and all, I agree with you 100% on the Tropical Traditions e-group. Seems TT has their nose in all the e-groups so that they can put their 2 cents in. I was once a member of their (TT) e-group, but since they moderate it, and only let the good information out about their product go through, then I really don't see much use of it for myself. You can not write about finding any deals on VCO anywhere else, plus they advertise on it. I want a public forum to let you write about any VCO, not just Tropical T's. Annette, thanks for the insight. I thought that scratchy throat was something I only experienced. Cracked up too.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 My objection to ' post is his tone. Though it may not have been intended, he came across in a very rude manner. Judith Alta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I agree wholeheartedly. And I expect people to promote their own products. Annette gave us a good rundown on why she chose the coconut oil she sells. Judith Alta -----Original Message----- > My objection to ' post is his tone. Though it may not have been > intended, he came across in a very rude manner. > > Judith Alta > Judith, this is typical of the TT people and the reason I left the group and wouldn or buy their products again. Lack of courtesy is a big turn off. Onthe otherhand, Annette's comments, right or wrong, were put forward in a friendly tone - you did not get the impressionshe was trying to put down TT, or promote her own products above theirs. Even if she made a mistake, it was most likely an honest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I never said he wasn't.. My question is why he even feels the need to be here when they won't let other people post on their group? It mystifies me to no end. I notice that a lot of people are not good enough to post on their list but we are good enough for them to come around here when they think they are being slandered.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 You said it. Why do they even need to come here anyway? why do they belong to this group at all since they are so superior or so they think. REALLY! If they don't even have the time to run their own list how in the world do they find the time to read the mail on this one? Really again!! LOL Since TT has its own e-mail group, why *would* they interfere with this one except to correct misconceptions about their product? Really!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Right and if they are doing so well and all why bother? This is the second time one of them has posted to this group.. But they just post then they never come back to answer any rebuttals or questions or anything I agree with you 100% on the Tropical Traditions e-group. Seems TT has their nose in all the e-groups so that they can put their 2 cents in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Why do they feel slandered? I think Annette has praised them more than slandered them.
