Is Coconut Oil a villain or a hero? In my researched opinion, a big hero and something that can provide HUGE health benefits. Today’s post is the first in a several part series called Daily Dose where I will talk about health products I try to incorporate into my daily life. Today, I want to tell you about organic coconut oil.

Organic coconut oil can be extremely healthy for you. It can also cook food at high temperatures a lot nicer because it has a high tolerance for heat, which makes it an excellent candidate for frying.

Have you ever fried something only to see the oil or butter burn? This doesn’t happen with coconut oil so everything turns a lovely golden and it won’t taste like coconut either, unless you buy an oil with a coconut flavour in it.

Coconut Oil Super Duper SuperFood

This oil doesn’t release trans fatty acids when heated and it contains lauric acid which can do wonderful things for your immune system. Coconut oil is being touted as a superfood with a big long laundry list of health benefits including increasing your metabolism, digestive system benefits, high level of antioxidants, antibacterial, improves the body’s vitamin and mineral absporptionand being great for your skin as well as many other benefits as well. It’s being closely investigated for extreme health benefits to Cancer and HIV / AIDS patients.

I use it as much as possible and opt for the organic option which is more expensive but allows for the optimum amount of health benefits.
