I think the smell and taste of coconut is part of the attraction for me. I wouldn't fry eggs in it but I love using it for stir fries.

I eat organic and wild whenever poss. I have tried Ma Devlin, Biona, Lucy Bee, Groovy Food Co and Maya Gold and they don't taste any different to me.

Courtney Act recommended using coconut oil as a makeup remover but I went one further and use it as a moisturiser for my face and body and a deep conditioning hair treatment. I've also used organic olive oil as a body moisturiser and hair treatment. For me, with very fine hair, I found olive oil worked better as a deep conditioning treatment and either is just as good as a body moisturiser.
