[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 567413, member: 84"] Hmmm. I looked it up. I can't say I'm impressed with what I see. 1. It has a high concentration of saturated fat, yet they claim it to be healthy for your heart. Now unless everything they taught me was wrong.......this is just bogus. Reminds me of "snake oil" ads back in the days before the FDA that claimed their products (natural or otherwise) cured everything but the kitchen sink, when many times it did help certain things but the damage it caused while doing so.........well, there is a reason we have the FDA. I would not ingest it for certain. (even if I wasn't allergic to coconut) I'd be iffy about putting it on my skin like that. Honestly you really don't need fancy oils for dry skin. Crisco and Vaseline work just as well. Actually Vaseline for severe dry skin works wonders if done right, especially for feet/hands. Drinking lots of water to keep hydrated works well too. Your husband is on the expressway to a massive heart attack. Fred ate that way. Oh, not the potatoes.......I wouldn't let him eat that many at a sitting......but the cheese, butter, oils ect.....oh yeah. Although if it's margarine it is worse. That stuff is not healthy at all. Most docs are recommending people stay away from the stuff. Fish oil is the only "true" healthy oil. Next in line would be olive oil, extra virgin. Maybe you could convince him his hair/skin is so oily because he's got oil oozing from his pores from eating so much. lol Men sure do get some wonky ideas, and it tends to be next to impossible to get those ideas back out of their heads. I do fish oil every day. And I am not even fully convince by the whole cholesterol deal......regardless, it's good for you. If I'm cooking with oil (which is not that often) it's extra virgin olive oil. Now if I'm frying chicken? It's good ol' crisco in the can. I might get brave and try it with the olive oil once, who knows. As with anything though, you can get [B]too much[/B] of a good thing too. Then it's no longer good for you. [/QUOTE]
