Easily Improve Your Health
After reading Coconut Oil Breakthrough, I am a convert! I knew that coconut oil was better than other oils and I was already using it for a lot of things, but the author gave me some reminders and also told me about things I didnโt know. The difference between good fats and bad fats was clearly explained. I had no idea coconut oil was 90% good!She also explains what RBD coconut oil is, and the best type of coconut oil to get, โwet-milledโ. She tells you ways to use coconut oil to lose weight such as stirring a small amount into a cup of tea before meals which sounds heavenly to me.One of the most fascinating discussions in the book for me was about hydrogenated oils and how they are made. What craziness! I knew they were bad and always avoid them, but now I know why and it has strengthened my resolve. Great book for anyone interested in improving their health.

Troubling Claims without Scientific Evidence
I hesitated to put down an aspiring author. But the subject relates to readers' health, and after considering the balancing act, I concluded that I should discourage people relying on her advice. The author has little research training and science knowledge, and it is a summary of what she read in various sources. There is no source citation in her outrageous and often wrong claims. As a trained Ph.D. science research academician, I cannot condone her outright wrong advice to the readers. I did not know much about coconut oil, but after reading her book, I did some quick internet research to check the validity of her claims. I suggest other readers do the same. The most troubling is her claim that Coconut oil is good for you as it is MCT (medium chain trygliceride) and 2/3 of coconut oil is MCT. There is very little studies done on coconut oil, but a quick cross check revealed that only about 10~17% is MCT, the rest is the "bad" Long Chain type. It is saturated fat, and all the medical and nutritional authorities are advising against consumption of saturated fat. It certainly is not better substitute of olive oil as she claims. I personally decided to use virgin coconut oil as the author suggested, no more than a tea spoonful a day for its flavor and heat-resistant property. It is probably better than most vegetable oils in a very small quantity, but nothing to rely on as my main source of fat in my diet. Most of my fat will come from nuts and a small amount of butter and olive oil.

Comprehensive and useful information!
I thought I already knew most of the basics about the uses and benefits of coconut oil, but this book proved me wrong. It contained all the things I'd read previously plus a whole lot more.My favorite chapter was "Coconut Oil Uses You May Not Know About." I never would have thought of adding coconut oil to coffee or tea, but it really does add a richness in addition to the energy boost. I'm going to try coconut oil on my cuticles next time I do a manicure. The information about how and why coconut oil can improve rashes, dry skin, and other skin problems was very helpful.I enjoyed reading this book, and I know I'm going to refer back to it often!

The best coconut oil books I've read!
I have been a fan of coconut oil for many years and have a few books on this topic. This book has been my favorite so far because it's so much more than a list of uses of coconut oil. BJ Richards explains the science behind coconut oil and its many benefits. She breaks down the many uses for coconut oil for weight loss, brain health, overall health, skin care, hair care, and many other uses. And she explains how to use it to reap the benefits you desire. Ms. Richards also describes which coconut oil is best to buy and also how to make your own, and other coconut products. This book is a one-stop-shop for all things coconut.

Just trying to keep up with the stuff.
I am just looking in coconut ๐ฅฅ and it sounds great. I bought some coconut ๐ด softgels to take 2 softgels in the morning each day. I had been on it for 2 weeks and went to see my cardiologist and he was reviewing my medications when he saw this. He asked me to discontinue due to the high levels of saturated fats, and that being said I discontinued it I donโt need anymore problem with my heart or diabetes.

Very Informative
I read quite a bit so I consider it a bonus when I learn something new on a subject I thought I knew something about. BJ Richard's helped me learn something new about coconut oil and her writing style is straight and to the point, which I like. I will go back to Amazon to see if she has other informative material which I can learn from.

A Fabulous Book
It's so good a small part of me would like to keep it a secret. But that would be unfair. It should be read by many. It never gets boring, it's brilliantly informative and I found myself thinking, 'i'll just read a few more pages of Coconut Oil Breakthrough, then hit the sack. An hour later I was still esconsed in its content. Well done that girl. A great and informative read, backed up with well researched data and information.
