Need info on using coconut oil.....

[Evolvamama]

I am interested in buying coconut oil and using it for myself,dh and dd-unforunately, ds is allergic to it.

I suppose I would like some info on the benefits of using it, what kind is best to buy, and how to use it. Do I drink it like fish oil, or is just using it to bake with okay? Is there coconut oil in pill form? How much is enough for therapeutic use?

Thanks for any help!

You can buy it in pill form. Gelcaps.

I put it in my oatmeal every morning, also bake with it and spread it on peanut butter sandwiches.

Can anyone point me to a good source that provides health benefits of coconut oil? In the meantime, I'll try googling it.
