Opps…Thank you for pointing that out. For some reason I had been rather confused when I originally read that article. A second time through clarified her comments. It still remains a genetically modified oil and not something grown naturally in creation. I updated that information above. Thanks!

fascinating–overwhelming, but great information. thanks so much for compiling this.

Your quote of the Con-ola article is misleading–later in the article, the author calls the claims of detractors regarding mustard gas and mad cow disease “ludicrous.” it certainly still seems like an oil to avoid, but I’d hate to see you damage your credibility by quoting the article this way.

hi,
yes i have been to a country in Africa and they use that oil in many of their main dishes. Over there you can either buy it as the oil, or buy the palm nuts and do it yourself, it isn’t complicated but takes a little bit of time. It is very good!!

I’ve been in contact w/ Mountain Rose Herbs as I try to figure out which coconut oil to purchase and their customer serice said that when heated over 160 degrees, the virgin coconut oil loses some of its nutritional value. I wonder if I should just use the refined coconut oil for all my baking/cooking? I realize it wouldn’t have the same nutritional power that the virgin oil does, but if it’s going to lose it in the heating, I certainly don’t want to spend the money on it. Anyone know the answer to this? Or what Sue Gregg or NT would say on this? I’m just trying to do my research before dropping a chunk of money on this… Thanks!!

We are big fans of popcorn as well. We use a hot air popcorn popper and then drizzle it with melted coconut oil and add a bit of salt. You can taste the coconut somewhat but we really like it!
