I have avoided this oil for decades, but recently I heard that coconut oil got a bad rap and it is a healthy oil.  Mind you this is fom Dr Mercola whose a little "out there". 

The only reason I even though about it is because it is said that the best

and most tender pop corn is made with it.  Supposedly, the reason popcorn no longer tastes like it used to in the old time movie theaters is because they switched to canola.

Can someone weigh in on this?  What is the truth?

    Hi saluki,

    Coconut oil is incredibly healthy and the best choice for anyone with cancer.  I belong to a very scientific blog group and this is what they have to say about it:  Cook with coconut oil. It has no taste and is VERY nutritious. It enters the mitochondria rapidly and uncouples oxidation from phosphorylation. This reduces the ATP level in the cancer cells, thereby promoting both necrosis and apoptosis.
