When my husband was in the Coast Guard in the early '60's he became friends with a Polynesian man. He came to our home and cooked several meals for us using coconut oil and coconut products. At the time, coconut oil was considered a terrible product and we were urged to avoid it. Andy convinced us his people have survived on coconut products for centuries and it was still a staple in his country that people used every day. He was exceptionally healthy and I must say everything he cooked using coconut  tasted fantastic.I've used coconut products ever since in all  forms, from fresh to unsweetened coconut, to coconut milk, water, and oil. This is a terrific product and I can't say enough good things about it. There have been numerous studies showing why it doesn't matter that coconut oil is a saturated fat. I've also read reports that the government wanted to discourage the use of coconut oil because there was no coconut oil produced in this country. They wanted to encourage the use of corn oil and vegetable oil to prop up farmers in the US.Coconut oil is not only for eating. I've had eczema on my scalp for years. When it gets really itchy, a treatment with warm coconut oil is the only relief available to me.We love popcorn and I can't believe we haven't thought of using coconut oil when popping corn. We have popcorn and a movie night once a week and I can't wait to try this later this week. We may even move our movie night up a day or two!
