I use the oil for most things. It is also good for your skin as a moisturiser - not the same jar!!

On a TV programme it was shown that although coconut oil is high in saturated fat it is in fact a healthy option. I can't remember the science behind it or the name of the programme!

I thought that coconut oil is high in Saturated fats and that we should be aiming for the unsaturated kind?

I could be wrong, but I would always go for the oil that has been processed the least ie. olive oil

Please can someone tell me what it is, how to use it and why it's the healthier option?
Should I buy and use it instead of sunflower oil?
