I have used both organic and non-organic,and I really cannot tell the

difference, but now I have been buying the organic at GNC, and it's very good

and not to expensive. Dr. Kim has a very good one also, but it is more money.

Coconut Oil

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 " ?

I have scoured the book by Bruce Fife " The coconut oil miracle " and found one

section in which he talks about Virgin and Refined. As I thought the whole book

when he is talking about Coconut oil he is refering to Refined unless he

mentions the coconut taste and odour. He does state they are BOTH THE SAME in

the benefits one will receive. He suggests that people use the one they prefer.

Yes really he does state this in page 160 and 163. Everyone should read it!

I was figuring that the majority of the Caribbean nations that ingest so much of

the Coconut oil and derive benefits from it are also the same people who would

not be able to afford Virgin Coconut oil unless they themselves were extracting

it, and I doubt many do that in our modern world.

The same fear mongering that told people " that Coconut oil is bad for you " is

the same type of fear mongering that is going on as to people saying you can

only derive benefit from Virgin Coconut Oil.

I personally have both in the home. I will cook mostly with the odorless and

flavorless Refined and will use the Virgin when I look for a coconut taste plus

the use of coconut milk.

I cannot afford to buy just Virgin coconut oil. My food bill has gone up more

than double due to the fact that our daughter should not eat Gluten which is

found in just about all foods and Bread. I used to make homemade bread for 50

cents now I have to pay more than $3 to make gluten free, and to buy its closer

to paying $6. Also staying away from milk increases the cost. But simple logic

also tells me that the people of the Caribbean nations are very poor and also

must ingest the cheaper type of Coconut oil.

I have been in sales and have learned how a good sales pitch makes people

believers in what is spoken but it is not always so. I am not trying to be a

jerk in bringing this up but rather bringing to light common sense so that

everyone including the poor can derive benefits from using coconut oil

afford-ably.

The refined coconut oil is processed differently. They are bleached,

deodorized, and come from copra (which can be moldy). Some use hexane then

steam the oil to remove the hexane, but who knows how much is left of the

hexane. Some use expeller pressed which uses heat around 400+-F and some use

fresh coconut meat while some also use copra. I use WFN's expeller pressed

using fresh coconut meat for cooking. And for plain ingesting i use their

centrifuged vco.
