There is a whole body of research which extols the benefits of coconut oil.   I am particularly interested in the benefits concerning brain health.  Trying to integrate coconut oil into my diet proved to be tricky, however.  Although I like coconut, I found the taste of the oil unpleasant and overpowering.

In time, however, I found a good way to get about a 1/2 teaspoon every day.  I add it to my 10 oz thermos of green tea each morning!!

There are very informative articles concerning coconut oil in both the July/August 2012 and September/October issues of Well Being Journal.
