    Maybe you should just highlight the part that specifically helped? There is an awful lot of unhelpful rubbish on the internet that gets blindly repeated until people just believe it.

    If people believe 'an awful lot of unhelpful rubbish' on 't'internet' without doing research, then reading about coconut oil & teeth is probably going to be the least of their problems.

    Coconut oil may be great for your skin but it certainly isn't good for your heart.

    It's worse than butter for saturated fat content, so I'm not sure what the supposed health benefits are?

    I love to use it on my skin and I use coconut products in curries etc, but I certainly wouldn't use coconut oil for cooking, unless it was for a coconut cake or something similar. It's definitely not good for frying eggs and the like. You may as well use lard! _pale_
