I found this link quite by accident and thought it might be good information for just about anyone. Just don't take it as more than a grain of salt until you have researched it fully.

From Wiki.
The United States Food and Drug Administration,[2] World Health Organization,[3] International College of Nutrition,[4] the United States Department of Health and Human Services,[5] American Dietetic Association,[6] American Heart Association,[7] British National Health Service,[8] and Dietitians of Canada[6] recommend against the consumption of significant amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat.

(Which is a pity, because I really like coconut)
What's this signature thingy then? Did you know Santa only brings presents to people who click the + sign? -->

In all honesty, if I have to do a quick kick due to saturated fats as opposed to alzheimers; get me out of here! At least you get the message.

At one time, hydrogenated oils were "healthy". Now they are not. Coconut oil used to be the oil to use. There are many ideas on the reason for its demise. I for one am a huge proponant of coconut oil. My cholesterol is great! BUT, I eat very healthy and excercise.
To consume coconut oil and eat the average american diet, well there may be issues. To get the real results, one needs to be proactive in all aspects of their health.
I agree with the above post, take me out with my mind, never with alzheimers.
