What are some benefits of coconut oil? And how is it to be used?
Answer
Coconut oil can be used in salads, and other foods. It can also be used on the skin and hair. It may also help your pie crusts taste and stay together better. Some say that its makeup helps keep you healthy, but those claims are quite difficult to assess.
It is often mentioned to help with various maladies such as diabetes and thyroid deficiency. It does not have any special properties with these problems. It will not increase your metabolism, though it could help you get fat if you eat too much of it.
There have been several medical studies of coconut oil, but these have mostly shown that there is no great benefit. Even the ones paid for by the coconut oil marketers didn't show benefit or were severely compromised.
Incidentally, this stuff should run for about $3 per gallon, and not more than $5/gallon. Many marketers will put it into smaller bottles and sell it for a lot more than that. They will also talk about "extra vigin" or whatever to try to increase the value. Coconut oil does degrade over time (it gets rancid if it is exposed to air for a while), so they will also explain that you must get only the freshest of it.

Would I still get the same benefits from taking coconut oil pills as applying it to my skin?
Q.
Answer
Yes as long as both types are the naturally extracted type of coconut oil. The refined coconut oils are garbage from a nutritional standpoint, and hard on the body.
The natural coconut oil is very beneficial for the skin and taking it internally is the best way so your body can get maximum benefits from it.
Naturally processed coconut oil also has a couple other great properties - it is the only oil I know of that is still super healthy after being used to cook at normal cooking temperatures. Many healthy oils are not so healthy after being heated although they are still better for you than the common refined oils in the supermarket.
Also, natural coconut oil is the only oil I know of that is not fattening. So, it is an excellent choice for cooking not only for it's healthy properties, but also because it is easy for the body to process and helps to speed up your metabolism, which can actually help you lose weight.
Also, bulk oil from a health food store is a lot cheaper than capsules.
Try it for awhile and you'll see the difference in skin, hair and nails and depending on your present diet, you may also notice an improvement in digestion.
