I'm switching to using coconut oil more often than butter and canola oil for sure!
YOU NEED to read this article!
Main points:
1. coconut oil contains lauric acid which gets converted into monolaurin which "has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties"
2. coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) which are easier to digest and use as energy than long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) found in most vegetable or seed oils
3. coconut oil is high in saturated fat, but not all saturated fats are created equal. (trans fats are artificial saturated fats and are not good...think margarine)
4. good for your skin
5. better for cooking (olive oil is best in dressings and drizzled over pasta, not for cooking. vegetable oil is worst for cooking...who knew?!)
