Default Coconut Oil is pretty darn bad, evidently

i do bake with coconut flour, and coconut shredded flakes, once in a while

i wonder how this might be similar to coconut Oil though...?


The AHA says that replacing saturated fats found in coconut oil or butter
with vegetable oils like corn or peanut can lower cardiovascular disease
by about 30 percent. That's almost the same amount as a cholesterol-lowering statin drug.

We have jars of the stuff. I've never cooked with it though. My daughter makes some kind of skin treatment with coconut oil, salt, and matcha. I've used it as a hair prep. It's a good, clean, light viscosity, oil but for cooking I'd rather use ghee or soybean oil. OTOH, the idea of putting ghee or soy oil in my hair is kinda revolting.

I use it to pop popcorn, but for some reason, I rarely want popcorn any
more. Also use it for baking some things, but I rarely bake either. Mostly
we use it for skin and hair. Someone recently got Silly Putty in her hair.
The coconut oil took it out. Wasn't easy. There was combing involved. But
the good thing about coconut oil is that it's absorbed into the hair.
Doesn't leave hair greasy. Except perhaps when you have to use a ton to get
Silly Putty out but one quick shampoo and hair is good to go.

Coconut oil is used a lot in movie theater butter - probably because it gives a lighter, more butter like, mouthfeel than other oils. That's important for popcorn.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the article cited. It's pretty much par for the course for internet warnings of the foods we eat - it's not based on any scientific study and gets it power from our beliefs and fears of food ingredients/additives.

I use it to replace butter when baking as I'm not supposed to eat dairy.
However, butter's rarely called for in the stuff I usually bake.

You might not have a problem with butter if you take out the milk solids i.e., use ghee. I guess that depends on what your problem is with dairy.

You always say that when something's not in line with your

But he's right in this case. For one thing, the sat fat thing was debunked
years ago. For another, the sat fat in coconut oil is not metabolized in the
body in the same fashion as animal fats.

Only for those who choose to believe that. There are 2 schools about
this. I'll put my money on an oil that nobody says is bad for you.

The fact remains: if you qualify any research that doesn't have the
outcome you like as bullshit, you suffer from tunnel vision.

I guess the British Heart Foundation are a bunch of conservatives who
don't keep up with everything that's been debunked?

Too much missing information there. The reason they used to make this claim
was that they were using partially hydrogenated oil. For all we know, this
could have been used in this study. Plain, virgin coconut oil is not bad.

That's because it makes you die of high cholesterol before you develop

When I went through cardiac rehab and saw a dietitian I was given a
shoot with lists of foods to eat and which to avoid. The list of
recommended foods included fruit and, in capital letters... NOT COCONUT.
In discussions about coconut there were many touting coconut oil and
links to articles about the marvels of coconut oil, likely by the people
selling the stuff.

Heaven forbid we maintain a system that helps to keep some stability in
the dairy farming business and provides opportunities for people to make
a profit from it. Dairy farmers I know work hard and rarely get away on
vacation. Perhaps you would prefer the American model where supply and
demand rise and fall and farmers are working on such a slim profit
margin that dips in the wholesale price can lead them to having so
little cash flow they cannot afford to feed their animals.

I don't have an answer but I know the present system sucks. Of all the
ways to earn a living, dairy farmer has to be one of the worst. And
some guy in Washington is telling you how to run your farm.

President Trump wants lower the budget by slaughtering wild horses. To
stop funding adoption and wildlife management programs for wild Mustangs.

These horses are a pivotal part of American History, BTW.

Trump wants to kill them. It's a little known part of budget cut
proposals. Slaughter the wild mustangs. FIDIOT!

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/...p-budget-plan/

I contacted my local representatives. Here's the deal. You are
supposed to represent ME. So tell the jackass in Washington not to kill
wild horses to save a few bucks.

They are an invasive species. Pony up a few bucks if you want to adopt
them. Otherwise, dog food to cull to a manageable level.

Mainstream sources of health/food info say that coconut oil increases
bad cholesterol. Then there are alternative sources that say it's not
bad for you at all and the mainstreamers are old, conservative and use
obsolete data. Who to believe?

But everybody agrees that olive oil and a few others are good for you.
So why not use those? Seems like the safest bet. I never wake up in
the morning with a craving for coconut oil anyway.
