I stumbled on this short work from Joshua Collins because I've been on health journey of my own.  Part of my journey includes shifting toward more healthy food and exercise, both of these are tenants of the "Coconut Oil Handbook."  What I discovered in this very short but well defined work was so much more!Before reading this guide, I had a notion that there was some controversy about consuming coconut oil to improve health, specifically ingesting saturated fat.  Collins explains in common terms how coconut oil can be beneficial and dispels the myth that fat makes fat.  Readers will learn that not all fat is the same.  Not only that, but who ever would have thought that something as simple as coconut oil could arrest hair loss?I cannot attest to the claims of increasing weight loss, because I've been on a grain and dairy free diet now for ten months and have already shed enough of my former self to fit into cloths I wore years ago.  What I can say though is that including coconut oil in my diet has increased my energy and I sleep better.I think the author wanted each chapter to be able to stand alone so that readers could look up a topic and read a complete explanation.  As one who reads from cover to cover, I found a lot of the information was repeated between chapters.  Other than that, readers will certainly get their money's worth.  The recipes alone are worth the purchase.
