5.0 out of 5 stars
Great read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coconut Oil: For Health and Beauty (Paperback)
After I got done reading this book I understood a lot more about fats--which you have to do to understand why coconut oil is better for you than other oils. I also liked the fact the authors are enthusiastic but not proselytizing, like coconut oil will cure everything under the sun. Great recipes too!

Well Done!,
By Bill Shurtleff (Lafayette, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coconut Oil: For Health and Beauty (Paperback)
This book makes a convincing case that coconut oil and coconut milk are as good for one's health as they are delicious! The chapter on the chemistry of fats is very well researched and written; it makes a complex subject easy to understand. The whole book was very nicely done.

A Waste of Money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coconut Oil: For Health and Beauty (Paperback)
I've heard a lot about the health benefits of coconut oil and was excited to read about it. This book, however, was a big disappointment. The authors spend too much time discussing their views of trans fatty acids, flaxseed oil, antibiotics, and other subjects and very little time on coconut oil. Out of the 84 pages of text only about half actually discusses coconut oil. It's like the authors didn't know enough about coconut oil and had to pad the book with other subjects. The authors have no background or training in science or medicine and make several inaccurate statements and misinterpret some of the studies cited. Although I believe coconut oil is one of the good fats, this book did not present a very convincing argument. I thought the book was a waste of money.
