Coconut Oil In The News:
Excerpt from 'Skinny Bitch in the Kitch':
"...did you know that when you heat most oils at high temperatures, you change their molecular structures, causing free-radicals? And that free radicals have been linked to heart disease and cancer? Well, we knew that (we're really smart), so a lot of our recipes call for coconut oil instead. Yeah, you may have to go to the health food store to buy it, but isn't a trip to the health food store better than a trip to the Emergency Room?"
Testimonials
"The Coconut oil is good, long lasting and gives the coconut flavor to the particular food that is cooked using it. Its a great substitute for Olive oil, which has an adverse affect when heated at high temperatures."
