Coconut Oil-- Healthy? + Free Dinner

I have never thought coconut oil was good for a person to consume for health benefits. I have heard things.

I do have a container in the cabinet. But, since I read several more articles, I will just use it for my skin.

I found one article to share with you. And, this article. I know you might disagree, but this is how I decided not to use coconut oil for consumption.

Thursday night, I went to the free dinner. We had bbq sandwiches, baked beans, chips, green beans, unsweetened tea, ice cream and cookies. I had a second sandwich. I should have left the bread and eaten just the meat. I also should have left off the ice cream and cookies. Okay, I only ate one of my two cookies and left all the beans and half the chips. The food was great.

Once again, I met interesting people. The woman was a former teacher and now a youth minister, while her husband is a school principal. She was funny and so unpretentious. We laughed the whole time. Her grade school child was with her and her husband soon joined her. I could spend these occasions in conversation and almost not miss the food.

Your turn
Do you believe coconut oil is healthy for you? Do you consume it? Or, do you limit your use to your skin care regimen? Any free dinners coming your way?
