@realblackhart Cooking with oil is generally bad, but some types are worse than others. If you have to . . . . coconut is better than something like canola.
im confused, you said it’s healthy for you as long as it’s not heated or cooked and then you can cook with it?
Please explain, I would like to introduce coconut oil into my diet.
i enjoyed this vid
i take extra virgin coconut oil as softgels for brain fog ( clouded thinking ) and it helps alot i’ve been having clear moments since the first day i’ve taken it.
Hi. I’m a big advocated of Raw Food and a high fat diet (aside from Trans). I use coconut oil, but don’t know if I’m getting enough. I drink Raw Milk and Cream, Raw Steak, Raw Eggs, lots of fats, and I never felt better. Would a teaspoon a day be sufficient enough?
I’m a fan
Will Coconut oil raise cholesterol levels? Thank you.
@madeline19591 Sure!
I take omega 3 supplement, ca I also take coconut oil?
To find the test, go to his site and scroll down until you see a box filled with blue type in various sizes. Click on Nutritional Typing. That will take you to register, once you register for FREE, take the test. I just did it, it’s great!
I’m on board, but coconut oil is extremely expensive!! Especially the kind he recommends (cold-pressed, organic, etc etc). I’m a student on a tight budget; any advice how to get the cheapest but highest quality coconut oil?
Also, honest question: Dr. Mercola, are you financed by coconut oil industry players or specific companies? It’s just suspicious how much you promote it as a health cure-all.
And while it’s unrelated, is coffee really all that bad? Should I really stop drinking it??
Great video Doc
@mercola I couldnt see anything there on your home page about a free test for what type you are? please can you advise where this test is and under what heading? thanks.
I like this guy very clear and highly informative!
@mercola couldnt see that test, nov 2011
question: what about eating coconut oil raw like 1 to 2 tbs a day in a salad or mixed with chia seeds/almond, rice or coconut milk yogurt, is it recommended ?
thank you Dr. you helped me allot in this video making this issue clear.
@mercola unfortunately I think the link has been moved or removed. Do you know if this is still available?
I suffer from fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome and I believe coconut oil might be of great help.
I suffered fairly serious eczema on the face for nearly 10 years. I tried everything but coconut oil so far is the only thing I have found that gets rid of it.
hi dr mercola, i was wondering if coconut oil/whole coconuts interfere with omega 3 uptake since they are full of omega 6.
Dr. Mercola is awesome. That fake non practicing psychiatrist by the name of Stephen Barrett “M.D.” went after in and lost in court and now he’s going to prison… sad
@mercola I dont see any test on the right side of home page!
did a search on your web site and found it but your site stinks – I got a popup that blocked what I was trying to read and it wouldnt go away.
@mercola I dont see any test on the right side of home page!
Please check if you ever take antibiotic Levaqin, Avelox, Cipro, Floxin you can the brain fog and more simptoms from that. I have the problem 3 years.
I was looking for the test to find if one is a protein type or carb type on your site and couldn’t find it. Could you provide a direct link? Thank you!
