Coconut oil is magical stuff, taken internally via cooking oil, or just eating plain, or with other food/drink as Bill points out. Externally it's used for everything from anti-viral applications, to lotion, to lube.
There are 2 types you can get at the grocery store (that I know about, anyway): Refined and Unrefined. Refined has a higher smoke and burn point, so that's good for cooking. Refined does not really have a coconut taste. Unrefined does have the coconut taste that some prefer, but should not be used for cooking unless on very low heat. I don't know if there are any differences nutritionally. I tried a rounded teaspoon of refined coconut oil in my black coffee yesterday afternoon after reading Bill's post. Other than a tiny "oil slick", there was no indication I had anything in there. No added taste whatsoever...but it was strong coffee made in a one-cup french press, so it coulda gotten overpowered. I'm sure my internals appreciated it. I like the taste of coconut, so I'll try some unrefined in my coffee today. Our local Bruegger's Bagels makes coconut coffee, and they always run out of it before I get in there, so there must be something to it. Great idea, Bill!
