I thought one could eat it on toast and crackers or take it by mouth or any other dozen ways of eating the stuff. Why don't you go back to Mercola if you liked that? Faith G.

Spectrum brand was even worse (bought that one before I knew what to look for). Coconut Oil Supreme is so light with none of that fermented or burned kind of taste. http://www.coconutoil-online.com/Coconut_Oil_Supreme_Starter_Kit.htm Another good one I've used was Fresh Shores from Mercola.com. I want to use coconut oil, but other than a teaspoon every now and then, I can't think of many ways to use it other than on my skin. I can't cook with it because husband doesn't like coconut's flavor. I added some to bran muffins. I wondered about putting it in smoothies....since it gets so hard when cold, wouldn't it just be a clump in the smoothie?

Sorry, I think that should be Niulife. http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/ I have tried two other brands available here in Australia - one actually made me vomit (both ends), although I was already used to coconut oil, and the other was just not nice to taste, though I was sympathetic to the people who made it and their unusually unfortunate history. It was just as well I happened to try Nui (then Kokonut) first, as if I had tried the other brand first I would never have continued with coconut oil. I have in the past seen a Canadian or USs address on their website, but I can't find it now, just a note to say that they are looking for international distributors. http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/OilSales/OilIndex.html I now also buy coconut juice made from young coconuts in a can like a soft drink. It is very pleasant to taste, not sweet like rubbish drinks, and no dearer than them. It comes from Thailand, and has bits of the soft jelly in them. The brand I can get is Chaokoh from Thep Padung Porn Coconut Co. Ltd. I tried to find a website for them, but if they had one it doesn't seem to be working now. But I see there are lots of companies producing the same sort of thing. Also it is possible to get all sorts of coconut products, "coconut sports in syrup" and so on, trouble being that the syrup is very sweet. Rowena ----- what brand of oil do you use? I have tried several. Havent noticed that it helps pain but sure notice that my skin isnt as dry. soomething that I have notice helping with knee pain is biosil. I just started using it so I am not sure that this is what is really doing it but I plan to keep using it for a while. It is supposed to help the bones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
