dairy free people--question on coconut oil

[Guest guest]

Those of you who are dairy free and can't use butter, do you use

coconut oil as a substitute? I have done this, but I am very

concerned about clogging arteries. I am so heart conscious since my

husband has to be on a heart healthy diet. I am thinking that this

wouldn't be too good for anybody whether they need to be on a heart

healthy diet or not. I do not use coconut oil with my husband, but I

am concerned that this is just not healthy for my son nor I. What do

you think? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Use oil in baking, sunflower or safflower and to saute or fry, olive oil also

for some cooking. If you are doing dairy, just drip yogurt from 3.8% milk and

use as a spread. I have never used coconut oil, but I do use small amounts of

butter. If making a vegetable omelet, I saute the veggies in olive oil and

remove to a plate, clean the skillet and do the egg part with 1/2 pat of butter.
