I doubt it does all they credit to it,it will make your boss give you a raise practically,but its an interesting article that talks about uses,types and sources where to buy if its your cup of tea.I found the processes to make it (lots I didnt know about different methods) and where to buy useful info.

We use it some too,Im going to consider the prime stuff from Philippines next order.I think our last buy was Costco too,now that you mention it,IIRC thats supposed to be a good brand.

Interesting a lot of ladies use it as a skin conditioner,sure soaks in quickly.

Try it in coffee, steady energy seems to counter the caffeine crash.

Real interesting Ahron. I was just looking at our costco oil,says extra virgin(actually virgin,no such thing as extra virgin apparently) organic,very impressive as price was good too.Cold pressed,unrefined, Hain brand.

Another site explaining why cheap costco can be premium oil

http://wholenewmom.com/reaching-out/is-costcos-coconut-oil-junk-or-the-real-deal/

Anyone know what brand is at costco right now?

That's right, except I skip the butter

I should try it with bacon grease.

I use it for dry skin..helps it immediately, as a hair conditioner and great for cast iron pans to prevent rust. Great on babies butts,  haven't' found anything it's not good for yet. Just as good as WD-40 and duct tape.  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

James says THANK YOU for the suggestion on the coffee-- he loves it with the coconut oil.  The idea of butter grossed him out for some reason, so he does the coconut oil, sweetener, and heavy cream.   

(And no, he wouldn't listen to the fact that butter is MADE from cream, so it's basically the same thing.  "Butter = gross. " he says.)
