Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

Ok, I am reading this first article now, and wanted to point out that

*hydrogenated* coconut oil is the oil banned from movie theaters. Also that

folks have shown *reduction* in bad LDL colesterol by using virgin coconut

oil, not an increase- hydrogenated would produce an increase. I didn't go

find articles to back that up right now, because I don't have the time to

look them up, but wanted to pass on that info.

I also want to point out, that I don't advocate *adding* oil to the diet

(Unless you don't get enough!! Yes, we *do* need some fat!). I recommend

*replacing* other fats with coconut oil.

Is yours Tropical Traditions? There is another one- Artisana. They call

their whole coconut " coconut butter " . (Which is misleading, because many

folks use the term " coconut butter " interchangeably with " coconut oil " when

referring to the oil rather than whole coconut.). I haven't tried it yet.

I'd love to know if there are others!!

By the way, try blending (in a food processor) the coconut cream with soaked

raisins (with some of the soak water), and put in mini muffin cups (I use

silicone), then in the fridge to harden. Sorry, I don't measure; maybe half

and half? Oh my, what a yummy dessert!

All this talk of coconut oil and cream has made my mouth water.....

something tells me my fat intake will temporarily increase over the next

couple days..... lol!

Ok, increasing my sprout intake, too-- all things in balance, right??!!

The more scientific articles are much better articles. I just didn't

want to leave anyone hanging with a heavily-jargon-laden unreadable

thing (some people of high intelligence just don't do science reading.

I love it but I don't want to force it on others.)

Did the article say it raised cholesterol? Sorry about that - I must

have missed that bit. I do agree with you.

Or there's someone in my case where I probably get enough fats (a

couple of tablespoons of flax, a small handful of nuts or seeds, an

occasional avocado - maybe two a month) but I have a hard time getting

enough calories which makes me vulnerable to overeating on nuts (which

are acidic so could throw me out of alkaline balance pretty quickly)

so a spoon or two of coconut oil would really help out even though I

probably don't need more fats.

I got it from a Shea Butter company but they don't sell it anymore - or didn't

last time I checked.? They changed their name, it used to be

Africansheabuttercompany.com and now I think it's something like terraorganics

or something like that.? I used to buy it wholesale.

With all this talk of coconut oil, gmail's target ads told me about a

sale going on until Sunday. You can get 48 ounces of organic virgin

coconut oil for $25. One gallon for $70. 16 ounces of coconut cream

for $10.99.

No idea what shipping is. Just thought I'd pass the info along since

it came to my e-mail box. Here's the URL if anyone wants it:

cream is whole coconut, creamed. Not just the oil.

use that when making nutmylk these days. (1/4 cup

raw nut of choice, 1 tsp

I actually used to sell Virgin Coconut Cream as a hair conditioning treatment!?

I took care of my great niece for a few months (2 year old) and she had very

frizzy hair and I would sit her in my lap and brush?the coconut cream?through

her hair every? morning - the only way I could get a brush through her hair!?

Her hair? - ?I didn't wash it out as it seemed to soak up the coconut oil but I

think straighter hair would have to be washed after leaving it in for 30 minutes

or so.?

Yes! tropical traditions is wonderful, and that is a great sale.

Unfortunately I had picked up on their sale earlier of buy one get one. The

current sale is buy one get two! That's a heck of a deal, but I have plenty

to last me for quite a while right now. They run new sales weekly. They

have an email list to get the sales sent to you.

You can get an estimate on shipping while in the cart before committing to

the sale.

I use coconut oil on my hair form time to time (great hot oil treatment!),

but have never used the cream. I'm thinking the cream I have must be

different, as it has coconut meat, as well as the oil. (The two are not

separated, but creamed together.) I don't think it would work for hair (the

brand I have).

I'm not sure. Tropical Traditions is pasteurized at 176 degrees. I'm going

to take a guess of " probably not " . Take a look here:

Bill Shay and I had a discussion in Miami about rising/fluctuating base oil

prices.  What he explained, and this had never ocurred to me, is that these

oils and fats (finished products and the seeds from which they are derived) are

traded on the commodities market.

I've noticed an increase also in the suppliers I've used. From time to time I'll

window shop with the different suppliers and note the prices. I've now started

to date them to see how much time has lapsed and the increase.

Coconut has been rising steadily for several years now. My first 50 lb.

pail was something like $40. The second was $60, and I was shocked. Now,

that would be a bargain.

I don't know whether it's being used in biofuel production, or if it's

weather-related, or what. There are so many factors involved.

OK, I googled, and here is the first link I found explaining the price:
