Hello,

I found the reference that refers to the possibility that the coconut oil one
buys might not always be in perfect shape:

" Tropical oils used in their country of origin have been shown in several
studies to decrease cholesterol levels. The difference in results may be due to
several causes: deterioration in tropical oils during storage (oxidation;
processing(hydrogenation); differing experimental design; or a combination of
the above. "

So, if this statement is true, it seems that coconut oil could oxidize or be
processed in some ways that would be make it less healthy than unprocessed
coconut oil that was transported and stored in such a way as to avoid oxidation.

Is this true, and if so, who makes and sells coconut oil in such a way as to
avoid these potential problems?
