I use for lots of things, it's a great make up remover to boot. I'm leery of eating too much of it as it's a medium-chain triglyceride and for some people (not all), it plays havoc on their blood cholesterol. It must be the way some people metabolize it. I make soap and coconut oil is about 25% of my recipe (it makes for a soap with nice big bubbles, on top of being moisturizing).

I've never had any go rancid, so there's definitely something wrong if you have a batch do that. I have some that I use strictly for my soap and have been hacking away at that block for years and it still has no smell (just nice and clean).

I keep a jar on the kitchen counter to fry some things, fabulous on french toast for instance. It can be used in the hair as well as on the face, hands, body, feet. Truly a healthy, miraculous product for all today.

I'm with you Jan. It is a wonderful product but you should use a good organic one.

I use it in my hair about once a month. It gets it all conditioned and soft and shiny!

Might be good with a little cinnamon and sugar. Cinnamon is said to help blood sugar too.

I love cooking with it. We keep a small container in the bathroom for my little grandaughter for when she hurts down there from a rash. Lots of great things on the market that don't include drugs.
