Nick. The white block of coconut oil has been hydrogenated. That is it has been heated to about 800 Deg. F. in a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of pure hydrogen and a metal catalyst. That way the oil picks up aniother hydrogen atom and the stuff becomes rock hard, and plates out in your blood vessels.
When I worked in Honduras one of our subsidiaries made a vegetable shortening by this process. It really isn't the best thing to eat. Plain coconut oil is far superior. I have read that the rape seed has been generically engineered for human consumption, but I wouldn't trust it. "Ole Bob" -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
