Adding Coconut Oil to Your Diet

We are often asked about the best way to "take" coconut oil. I think the best approach is to re-examine the way we look at coconut oil. Because of all of the benefits associated with coconut oil many people who are not familiar with it approach it as though they were "taking" a drug and we often get inquiries about the recommended "dose." Coconut oil is a wonderful food, not a drug.

I personally think that the maximum benefits from coconut oil will be seen by using it to the greatest extent possible in place of other fats which range from being less beneficial to downright harmful to our health.

Coconut oil can be used as an alternative to butter on hot vegetables, hot cereal, on toast and practically anywhere else you would use butter, whether by itself or as an ingredient in baking, etc.

Coconut oil is also good oil for frying and sautéing. Many people don't want to eat fried foods because we have been told how "bad" they are. What makes them bad is the "bad" oil in which they are fried. Frying in coconut oil is just one more way to add this healthy oil to your diet.

Popcorn is delicious when prepared in high quality coconut oil.

Coconut oil can be substituted for vegetable oil or shortening in recipes which call for either. (See the "Uses" page on the main menu.)

The addition of coconut oil to your diet offers many potential benefits and I highly recommend it. I don't believe, however, that it should be promoted as a sort of "silver bullet" which you simply "take" as though it were a drug.
