In the past year or so, I am more open to olive oil for cooking. I also use it as my skin moisturizer. I didn’t have anywhere near a strong negative reaction to coconut oil, but on occasion it would not agree with me. My skin seems better with the olive oil over coconut oil, too. I know that coconut meat, in a piece of candy, say, irritates my gut (even though I love the taste).
That quote from Ray about palm oil is one I know. I don’t eat products with it, but it’s something to keep in my back pocket for times I have few choices–like an airport. Palm oil better than safflower oil!
