Any coconut oil fans here?
My God I love this stuff...has to be the best, organic expeller pressed virgin. Tastes sooo good...I drizzle it on toasted English muffins, so much nicer than butter and 100x healthier. I also put a spoon or two in my tea in the morning, it tastes like nectar and I get a real boost of energy which lasts into the afternoon. I also cook with it, it's one of the healthiest oils out there.

I enjoy rubbing tanning lotion with coconut oil onto hot, scantily clad ladies on the beach. Does that count?  ('Cause it really should count...  )

Imagine rubbing tanning lotion into those babes. Now imagine that one of them turns round and it's actually Richard Simmons. He's saying "Oh goody, it's Craig!" You cannot unsee this mental image no matter how hard you try.

Oh, but I can! You see, since I used to be a two-man beach volleyball player I have some REAL memories of doing exactly what I described to fall back on. I'll let you get back to your naked men at the gym and Richard Simmons fantasies.

Such a handy and useful oil. I saw something on the FB which listed over 50 different uses for it.

Back home in Sri Lanka, coconut trees are everywhere, and is used in almost all foods. Everything from coconut oil, coconut milk used in every curry (scrape the coconut and then compress to extract the milk), scraped coconut for other various food preparations, coconut water, ferment the coconut water and you have a mild alcoholic beverage, coconut oil for lamps, and many other household uses etc....
This coconut fad that's going around now is only popular (especially in the US) because some big company decided to market it out here, but this has been extensively used for many, many, many centuries. As for the health concerns, especially from the extensive useage of it back home, we've attributed a longer/healthier life due to the use of coconut products. Of course, we've also taken it for granted that "too much of anything, is good for nothing" and moderation is always the key.

The smell is a strong reminder of the many times I sunned alongside the Glenwood, Co. hot springwater swimming pool getting loaded on Mai Tai drinks. Yep, coconut oil sunscreen and Mai Tai drinks sure worked out good to me.

I used to gig in Vail valley, '85-'94 and all over CO and NM. Glenwood Springs was my favorite place to hang-unwind. I have lived a lot of my life in Michigan and used it at the beach, enjoying Lake Michigan!
But lately, after giving up grains/wheat (read Wheat Belly by Davis and Grain Brain!), my wife starting cooking with it and came up with a marvelous treat (un-named as yet) and we are gobbling that up!
It's just not for tanning, anymore! LOL

I gigged all over NM but Co. was vacation time. I didn't do clubs while in Vail but sure enjoyed the condo view by the fire getting loaded and watching the skiers. Last trip sometime in early '80's. Got my first Adrian Belew album in Vail :) ...come to think...it may have been his first. To long ago for me to remember. Lone Rhino..that's it.

It's been a very long time since I've experienced a pressed virgin. Can't even remember what that's like. But coconut oil, or more precisely coconut milk, is part of my regular diet, being a standard ingredient of both Filipino and Indian food. It's what makes a curry sauce creamy. My wife uses coconut oil on her hair. We always bring a few bottles of the stuff back with us from the islands. Tip: a minute in the microwave before applying to any, er, sensitive parts.

Coconut milk and coconut oil are two fully different things. Coconut milk has a high oil content, whereas coconut oil is pure fat. Coconut oil looks and feels just like olive oil or rapeseed oil, except for the color.

I suppose there'll always be arm wrestling about these things. Many small good things compensating one bigger minus side, and vice versa etc. That particular article did not convince me in any way, though. Even though coconut oil might have positive qualities compared to butter, as all kinds of peanuts and similar tend to do, it still is hard, saturated fat. That way I can keep things simple for myself :o)

Coconut oil is popular in the tropics because it has a long shelf-life and won't go rancid in warm weather. That, and there are coconut trees everywhere.
It does raise your cholesterol, although it's mostly the so-called "good" kind. It may be part of the reason Filipinos are most likely to drop dead from heart attack. That, and their love of pork fat.

I dab some grain alcohol on my 'pits in the morning and perhaps apply again in the afternoon depending ont he weather. Works better than any store bought deodorant.

This whole coconut oil thread is driving the scientist in me crazy … but I will keep my mouth shut about it.
I will comment on the alcohol on then arm pits though. There is a difference between deodorants and antiperspirants. Deodorants simply mask BO via the use of a fragrance and do nothing to inhibit sweating. Antiperspirants contain a clinically tested (yes, real science) efficacious ingredient that has been shown to inhibit perspiration. The use of the active ingredients in antiperspirants (which are aluminum and zirconium “polymers”) cause the blocking of the sweat ducts.
Wiping coconut oil on your armpits will probably mask your BO and make you smell like a coconut for a little while and, if it possesses any antimicrobial properties, in my slightly lower the bacterial load under your arms but you would really need to like coconut (personally, I’d get sick of the smell after a while).
Alcohol will definitely strip the armpit of oil and lower the bacterial load but a lot of people find alcohol too drying and irritating

I've never used antiperspirants. Whoever thought it was a good idea to block the sweat ducts needs their bumps felt. I've always held that if you shower regularly (i.e every day) and apply deodorant at least once a day AND eat a healthy diet, you're not going to stink. Sweat doesn't smell bad when it comes out, it's when you leave it to react with the bacteria on your skin that it starts to create that boiled oniony smell. And that's where the alcohol comes in - it kills the bacteria on your skin that causes sweat to stink. Let's also not forget all of those lovely pheromones contained in sweat...the ladies love those  Actually you can use witch hazel as well, it does a similar thing. In the summer if I'm going to be working outside all day, I will carry with me a small ziplock bag containing a couple of cotton pads soaked in either alcohol or witch hazel. A quick wipe in the middle of the day does the trick. Vodka also works if that's all you got. But those sprays that block the sweat ducts? Come on...everyone know that if sweat can't come out of your pits, it's just going to come out of your forehead

Welp...I went out and got some coconut oil and tried a bit on some good 8 grain bread when I got home. Yup...yummy, thumbs up.
Then, for dinner tonight I made a chicken and vegetable curry on jasmine rice. I cooked both the chicken and the veggies in coconut oil and then added my curry sauce. Holy moly!! I'm hooked. Thanks Sharke, ol pal!! Will be keeping this stocked in the pantry. Killer Diller.

Totally addictive isn't it? To be honest I think I'm going to decrease my consumption a bit, I think I was going a bit overboard with it. Reading more about it it seems the scientific opinion is that while there are some very healthy elements of coconut oil, since it's still a saturated fat it should be used in moderation. So from now, I'm going to look at it as a healthy butter, ie perhaps not stir it into my tea. My absolute favorite use so far is on a toasted English muffin with a light spread of peanut butter on top. In fact the promise of it for breakfast is making it so much easier to get out of bed.
