virgin versus regular coconut oil

[Guest guest]

I have read some of the info out there as to Virgin coconut oil as opposed to

others. My question is " is there actual proof that the non virgin oil is not

good for you or is it just not as effective?

It would cost a fortune if I used virgin coconut oil for frying and all baking

and cooking. The coconut oil I find in the Asian supermarket costs about the

same as butter. I stay away from those that say refined but all are 100%

coconut oil. Mind you they don't smell much of coconut or taste like it. The

market has one " unrefined " oil but it has sediment and is not truly white in

colour.

Another question is then how does one know what kind of oil is used in the

" coconut milk " that is bought in cans or tetra pack?

I bought Powdered coconut milk but haven't tried it yet, I was looking to use

this in yogurt making to thicken it up.

I guess my question is can one get benefits from using " coconut oil " when one

can't afford to buy " virgin coconut oil " ?

If you plan to heat coconut oil, there is no need to pay extra for oil

processed with low heat. RBD oil is made from copra, which tends to be

moldy. Some people won't use coconut oil made from moidy coconuts. Others

have no problem with coconut oil made from copra. Coconut oil gets less

expensive if bought in gallon or 5 gallon pails from a reputable source on

the internet. I like the folks at Wilderness Family Naturals.

What are your priorities? If your health and your family's health is a

priority then you will find ways to purchase healthy evco versus cheap *

unhealthy* coconut oil.

Do not put mental blocks like " it would cost a fortune " . If you are very

serious about your health you can do it and you will do it . Don't get

caught in the low " Kmart " mentality.Somebody told you a lie and you believed

it! Thinking and living cheap often keeps people functioning at lower

levels. Make a small sacrifice somewhere where it doesn't affect your health

and wellness and buy the best quality EVCO available!

We all deserve to live well and have the abilities to do so.

I personally don't fry and for cooking I usually keep my heat at medium to

low temperature. Not sure about coconut milk yogurt. Never tried to make but

sounds interesting. Good luck!
