Cooking Oils...fats are very important for healthy body functioning.

In today's world of processed foods, who cares about what fats are we letting in our body and how detrimental it is in the long run for generations to come. Who has the time to think about what we are putting in our bodies?

But don't you think the food we eat is the most important thing in our lives...Everything else will follow...good health, happiness, beauty, fun, the capacity to work hard and the capacity to live a fulfilling life.

I use only 3 kinds of fats for cooking, ghee, butter and coconut oil. And I cant tell enough how much it has benefited  me any family. Other sources of just edible fats would be fresh poultry, red meats, raw nuts ,fruits like avocado and some cheeses.

I wont go on and on lecturing about how good Coconut oil is for all purpose cooking. I use it in my food and tropically on my skin. Either ways it is excellent! What is important is the source you get it from. I prefer Tropical Traditions Gold Label http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm.

Here is what Dr Mercola says about coconut oil:

My personal experience would be, it has helped me with severe digestive issues, keeping my weight under control, helped me maintain a younger looking skin(by applying it tropically), good for hair and the best part about cooking with it is food does not taste"coconut-y" although when used it baking, it might impart a very mild "coconut-y" flavor and I can live with it.

Enough said....I LOVE MY COCONUT OIL :)
