Coconut Oil & Health [Food]

[Trinityz1]

actually I had read that link from what you had sent me before

here's what we decided to get
1 gal of the gold label virgin cold pressed coconut oil that's white and is the least refined

that's for me, wife, and the dogs....
what we're using actually is helping me and my dog 14 and his mate who is 13

5 gal of the expeller pressed that has the least flavor for cooking
1 gal of palm oil to mix with it to raise it's smoke point

a bunch of palm shortening so I can have biscuits to my heart's content and to mix with the coconut oil for deep frying

6 lbs of coconut chips....these I'll love as a sweet snack
I had only noticed that the coconut I ate years ago...stuff today
from the stores just didn't taste the same
fresh coconut is great, but a pia and is so intense and hard to use it all
dried chips done at 98º should be terrific
probably replace the jelly beans with it

decided to go with Tropical Traditions
you pay $10 for a 30 day membership and shipping is limited at $25
and better prices yet
with every where else I compared, looked like the best bang for the buck
shipping prices for this stuff can hit pretty hard
and since our order was over 100 lbs...$25 for UPS ground is a deal

so tonight with the virgin organic expeller pressed we still have from the health food store
fried some potatoes from our garden
added a little bacon grease and olive oil for a great combination
and it fried them up just dandy and they were great
the oil didn't burn...stayed clear, drained off the potatoes well
so can use the same stuff tomorrow night for another batch of fried potatoes
no coconut flavor in the potatoes...just a hint of the oder now and then
so it's doable

so we're giving it a whirl
it's raining here and I haven't had to use my knee or elbow braces since I started this stuff
dogs are doing better....
and this is with the lower quality stuff
so it's the only new factored element in what we do
so I figure it's doing me some good
and this new stuff is even much better quality

so thanks for all your help with this
it's much appreciated
