How can i use coconut oil?..what are its benefits & problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many, but here's one: Coconut oil is high in saturated fat, which is extremely stable at high temperatures. Frying or cooking with coconut oil is far superior to using traditional vegetable oils because it does not degrade to damaging free radicals.
