A member asked:

Coconut oil ruined taste buds, how do i get it back?

How so?: I would suggest you have your own dentist examine you and then discuss this issue with you. I would think that coconut oil would not be able to permanently harm your taste buds and whatever it did cause would naturally return to normal in time.
