I’m a believer… 

Why is Coconut Oil Good For You?

First of all, in terms of taste, it’s a great way and a great thing to use on salads and fresh vegetables. It is a good substitute to use in cooking in place of other oils and to use in food over butter and other trans fats. The reason is that the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil don’t get packed away as fat as easily.
