Coconut oil

Coconut oil.  It is something that people have been talking about for a while now.  It has some great health benefits such as:  It is a great energy booster, and does not change its chemical form when heated (so it doesn't become harmful to you by becoming a dangerous trans fat), it can be used as a hair conditioner and skin softener. We have been using coconut oil to cook our vegetables and chicken in.  I love the way it makes my green beans taste.  We use the Spectrum brand that is organic.  They have refined and unrefined.  The unrefined has a stronger coconut  flavor, but is obviously better for you since it has not been refined.  However, if you can't stand the coconut flavor, the refined is still a good option for you.  I use it in place of vegetable oil/canola oil or butter in many baking recipes and get great results.  The possibilities are endless as to what you can do with it, but HERE is a great article that talks about the energy benefits of it:
