Coconut Oil: How do you use it?

Coconut Oil has risen to the forefront of nutritional buzz in the last few years. Previously overlooked in the kitchen because of its high saturated fat levels, coconut oil actually has a great deal to offer. The body uses medium-chain triglycerides, the exact fat found in coconut oil, differently than other saturated fats. These triglycerides are processed for energy rather than being stored in the body. Along with the internal benefits, coconut oil has long been used for the skin and in many beauty products because of its naturally antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is an excellent moisturizer and penetrates the hair better than other oils. In addition, it smells lovely.
