Exactly @blueorchid, coconut is absolutely healthy, but I only use it for the body. One have to be careful about:
"While coconut oil does give ‘good’ HDL cholesterol a boost, it can still raise ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol levels as well. That’s because coconut oil is about 90% saturated fat—even more than butter—and saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol. According to Walter C. Willett, M.D. of Harvard School of Public Health, “coconut oil is (not) as healthful as vegetable oils like olive oil and soybean oil, which are mainly unsaturated fat and therefore both lower LDL and increase HDL.” Since the long-term effects of coconut oil on cholesterol levels has not been researched extensively, it’s best to use coconut oil sparingly."
My favorite use for coconut oil is for sunbaths, I also mix it with my shower lotion (makes a perfect skin!) and after shaving instead of aftershave or lotion.
Have a great day and best regards
Tom

Coconut Oil & All its Benefits
It is interesting that countries with the highest intake of coconut oil have the lowest rates of heart disease,
MCTs (middle chain triglycerides) are formed by the esterification process, the reaction between the three fatty acids and the glycerol alcohol).
Fatty acids be long depending on the number of carbon atoms 2 - 24.
LCTs (long chains) are mostly dietary oils and fats.
LCT is hard to absorb in the body (they need special bitter acids and absorption routes in the lymph channels).
MCT is easy to absorb
MCT is primarily found in coconut oil and some nuts.
Most importantly, MCT in the body acts as an instigator for combustion LCT!
So, MCT encourages combustion the Fat in body,
( works to increase thermogenesis - creating heat in humans).
Researchers have concluded that it is not saturated with coconut fat that negatively affects the cholesterol profile.
There is a big difference between high quality saturated fat in coconut oil or MCT in oils that you get in a fast food cheeseburger.
And total cholesterol is not a predictable predictor of heart disease or stroke.
Inflammation is a culprit for most diseases, and coconut oil is highly anti-inflammatory.
MCT is extremely safe.
Man quickly supplies energy,
cancer cells can not use it as food
protects protein reserves and
helps with the slow release of unwanted fat in our body.
Do not be afraid of saturated fat, but take it out of a healthy source, such as coconut and grass.

you're right @crypto-mammoth,
but in these countries were the coconut is at home, they are not more healthy only because of the coconuts, they eat more healthy at all and have a better lifestyle, hehehe
