回到4,50年前营养匮乏的中国,椰子油就和猪油一样,营养热量都更丰富,比玉米油 ,橄榄油强;可现在这年代,真没人敢冒险吃饱和脂肪太高的油,没几个人营养不良, 都跑去吃含不饱和脂肪的油了,这就是号召吃橄榄油的原因了。谁好谁不好,是相对的 ,不过一个是饱和脂肪的油(椰子油和猪油),一个是不饱和脂肪的油(玉米油,橄榄油) ,根据自己的身体,自己选吧。 “Pure virgin coconut oil, containing no hydrogenation (the process of adding hydrogen to make a liquid fat hard), contains 92% saturated fat -- the highest amount of saturated fat of any fat.”

I've used coconut oil (organic extra virgin, made by Nutiva) for 1+ year for skin care and occasional cooking, and can attest for its great value on both fronts. I agree with people who suggest not overusing it - everything should be taken in moderation. For skincare I mix coconut oil with (unrefined) Shea butter as body butter, use it 1 to 2 times per week on average (can apply a bit more frequently in winter as needed). I have dry skin (more severe in winter time but cannot tolerate perfume in commercial body butters so I study DIY body butter receipts and found the one that suits me best. I have also experimented with using coconut oil for hair care - massage coconut oil into hair and wrap up with a towel for 30+ minutes to 2hrs then wash it out with shampoo - you may need shampoo your hair twice if you put too much coconut oil but overall the results can be wonderful. If you don't have time, rubbing a small amount of coconut oil can also help reduce fuzz and increase shine. I love cooking with coconut oil but can only use it a couple times each month - due to other health reasons I need eat light (less pan frying) so I mostly cook with olive oil. But the few times when I can (wok) fry pork chop or fish (e.g. salmon), I'd choose coconut oil because of its flavor (so yummy) and better suitable for high temperature. There are many user feedback on amazon for benefits of coconut oil; you can also search on MakeupAlly (focused on its usage in skincare or haircare).
