Does anyone use coconut oil?

Posted By: karen on 2009-04-11

I just bought a jar of Spectrum Organic Coconut oil. There is no scent and no flavor whatsoever - absolutely nothing. Also, it is hard, almost like the texture of hard butter. Many months ago I bought coconut oil (the same brand) and I thought it had a strong scent and also thought it was the texture of peanut butter, but wonder if I'm wrong.

Does anyone use coconut oil and do you know if it's supposed to smell or taste like coconuts? Just wondering if it's gone bad. The expiration date says 18DEC10WO.

coconut oil
What are you intending to use it for?
Fresh coconut!

I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one.  Hadn't had one since I was a kid.  I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside.  Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch.  Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy!  The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP.  We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out.  The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that. 


I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water.  I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself.  The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely.  I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible.  Hope she feels better soon!


actually, I posted about coconut oil below (sm)
It is supposed to help your body fight any lipid-encased virus, which an article I read says herpes viruses are. You can get it at any healthfood store - look it up online - there is a lot about it.
Does anyone use coconut oil for health purposes regularly? (sm)
I would like to know if it has been helpful to anyone with health conditions.  Thanks
Adding coconut oil for flax seed oil to your diet

Might try coconut oil from the health food store. It's solid at room temp., so you can rub it in

Are you on hormones? Tried oil supplements into your diet? Flax seed oil? Coconut oils? Research

mine LOVES coconut lime verbena from BABW. LOVES it
it's the smell -- just smells "clean" plus i think it reminds him of me ... weirdly, even my teen sons say it smells nice and clean and they like it too! smells bring about different calms in people... no way should you worry.
My dog loves coconut oil right off the spoon. Try the health food store. Sometimes in food store,
