Review: Interesting Information about a Healthy Product
Rating: 3 out of 5

I knew very little about coconut oil before I picked up Coconut Oil Handbook, and I learned a lot.  This little book is packed with lots of information, and the author sounds as though she really knows what she's talking about.I took off one star, though, because I would have liked a few more specifics, like exact details and measurements for making some of the health and beauty products suggested.  It would also have been helpful to have more information to back up certain statements - for example, the author states that coconut oil "can help decrease your allergy symptoms if you ingest it daily", but she never said what sort of allergies we're talking about (peanuts?  Pollen?  Penicillin?) or what kinds of symptoms it relieves.  I would also have liked to know more about the scientific research that would back up some of the claims about coconut oil's surprising properties.I took off another star because the book wasn't well edited, containing errors in grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and English usage on every page.  I'm a teacher, so those things bother me perhaps more than most people.However, overall I have to say that I really enjoyed this book, and I'm eager to start incorporating coconut oil into my diet in place of other less healthy oils.  I'm glad I read it and plan to refer back to certain sections in the future.  I recommend Coconut Oil Handbook for anyone looking to find out more about this amazing substance and all the ways it can benefit our bodies!
