After reading several of Bruce Fife's books (and they were wonderfully easy-to-read for the non-scientific type), I decided to give coconut oil a try to help with losing weight and getting my blood sugar under control. As a non-medication taking, recently diagnosed diabetic, I want to try whatever natural remedies I can find to stay off insulin and other diabetes meds, in addition to meds for cholesterol, etc. I tried taking a teaspoon or two with meals and a teaspoon btw meals and my blood sugar numbers were noticeably lower the same day. (Fife says the suggested dose is 3-4 tbs/day). The taste of this brand is fantastic, light and creamy with a delicious coconutty taste! I love coconut so I was able to eat it right from the jar, but I also tried it spread on a Wasa Crisp bread--WOW, what an easy way to get MCFAs into your diet! I will definitely be using this instead of any oils for all my cooking needs (except a little EVOO mixed together with this for salad dressing.) Also, I'm using on my skin and it feels really soft, plus you also get the internal benefits from using it on your skin! GREAT PRODUCT!

I've gone to wearing my hair "natural"--no chemical relaxers to straighten it. On advice from other African-American women who have also gone the natural route, I tried mixing coconut oil, unrefined shea butter, and aloe gel to use on my hair. The results are nothing short of miraculous! My hair is soft, shiny, and manageable. I use the braid-out/twist-out styling methods, and the resulting curls and spirals are absolutely beautiful.

Also, I've read up on the health benefits of coconut oil, so I will definitely be experimenting with it in my cooking.

This item is extremely good. If your looking for pure extra virgin Coconut oil,this is your product. I use it in my hair, on my body as a moisturizer, in my food and also as a supplement. It's the best and for a very good price.

I purchased this after scouring onc of my favorite sites [...] about natural ways to deal with rough, dry, feet. I get biweekly pedicures but that gets expensive! One of the reviewers recommended applying coconut oil daily and you'll never have to worry about rough feet again. I have to honestly admit that she was right! I only get a pedicure for the pampering every couple of months no longer the necessity and because of the results I apply the coconut oil to my entire body after the bath and I can't believe the difference in my skin's texture. It's unbelievable. The only thing about this one is during the summer months you have to find a cool place in the house to keep this such as underneath the bathroom cabinet or in the linen closet because it will liquify. As a mattef of fact I keep it in my bedroom during showering so the steam from the shower won't won't liquify it because once it liquifies it will eventually reharden at room temperature but the consistency changes which to me also changes the chemical structure in it or something because it just doesn't moisturize the same afterwards. But I love, love, love this product. It's a must have. It's has a light, chocolate fragrance to it which is a plus.

After menopause, I developed high total cholesterol. Fortunately, only the "lousy" cholesterol (LDH) increased, with my "happy" number (HDL) staying at an impressive 90. Instead of taking the recommended "liptor, et al", and as a registered nurse who knows the awful side effects of such drugs, I opted to research all things diet related. After my studies, I have decided that our government and medical community has been either ignorant, at best, or complicit, at worst, in the great soybean growers maligning of the health benefits of this oil. There are a few good scientific books available through Amazon. I'm not due for another lipid test for at least a year. I will post an update here, good or bad outcome.

Whole Foods stopped carrying this brand. I tried their new 365 brand and had to spit it out --- TOTAL PLASTIC TASTE AND SMELL. This product is in a non-leaching plastic container and is incredibly pleasant tasting raw (only do that after eating anything sweetened with sugar or honey to prevent cavities), but unbelievably delicious in cooking. Last week I was in an interview and the lady turned and smiled stating she detected a "slight, delightful hint of just-baked cookies" coming from my direction. HAD TO BE THIS OIL I always pop a little in my mouth before going out!!!!!

Watch the medical statistics that will be coming out of the country of Jamaica in the next two to three years. The soybean inudstry has recently purchased all the coconut fields, torn down the trees, and planted soybeans!!!!! If the studies I am trusting in are correct, they will begin developing a high incidence of heart disease and strokes, almost unknown to them up until now!!!!!

I use this on my face in the evening. At first it seems really greasy, but after about 5 minutes it totally soaks in - doesn't leave any residue/stains on my pillowcase. I also use it on my lips. Definitely recommend :)

I bought this product from the amazon vendor ALL STAR HEALTH and I must say it is just as described and got speedy shipment. This is great for my hair and skin. I've made Ice pops for my kid sister,her friends, and myself and they taste great. I am afro Caribbean with wavy hair opposed to super kinky hair but my hair gets really dry if I leave it out(wash n set style). But this is great for those using protective styling and for the swimmers like myself. It keeps my hair moist and doesn't weigh it down and my skin look great as well. People don't realize that the chlorine in our shower/water systems here in the states is very drying on our hair and bodies. I'm just glad I got a product that 100% natural and from a vendor who I can trust. I've been ripped off by buying hair products at walmart and supply stores. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood and it is very hard finding things that work for my hair. So, I have to go to neighborhoods out of my way or shop online. And after finding out I bought conditioner that was mixed with bleach (clorox) from an online store that turned my hair into straw/ash it can be very frustrating. So I had to cut off my hair about 5 inches and I'm re-growing it. I had to file a claim with the business bureau and everything. But, thank god for reviews or I wouldn't know where to shop or who to trust these days.

I like this product very much. It came very quickly and was the actual coconut oil(not the gel tablets). I was using it as a hair conditioner but it is edible and can be used as a cooking oil and as an anti-fungal treatment. It tasted sweet and the container was generous. Overall, I am happy with the product and the pricing.

I am from Asian descent and we regularly use coconut oil for everything. My Mother used to make me coconut oil by shredding the meat, hand pressing the liquids, then boil the water out. This oil tastes and smells just like the kind my Mother used to spend hours making. This is definitely worth the price for the amount of oil that you get. I use this as a hair detangler out of the shower, as make-up remover, face and body moisturizer, and lip balm. I also use it for cooking and as a dietary supplement.

I love this product It is a great moisturizer for my hair as well as my skin. The smell is subtle but pleasing. I leave it in my hair overnight and it easily washes out in the morning. It also keeps my skin soft. It works very well for dry cracked heels. I just bought 2 more jars. I have not cooked with it!
