The Spectrum coconut oil contains no preservatives or additives. In spite
of the fact that it is labelled for cosmetic use, it is perfectly
acceptable for human consumption. My health food store actually stocks it
on the same shelf with food grade oils. Given the current hysteria about
saturated fats, I doubt you will find a coconut oil labelled for human
consumption on retail shelves. (Ever wonder where food manufacturers are
getting THEIR coconut oil, and they are still using it, especially in
popcorn--it's good.)

BTW, I also use the full-fat coconut milk, and it is great. Full-fat
coconut milk gets over 90% of its calories from fat.

Does anyone know where to get coconut oil.  My local health food store
has the Spectrum product, but it is not food grade.

Thanks
