The "study" that this article continues to rely on is bogus. Follows no scientific repeatable standards. Relied a lot on reports by relatives after people died actually.

Coconut oil has a lot of health benefits as Dogwood said. The individual packets at TJ's are the easiest way to carry it. We tried carrying it in mylar bags but it melted and leaked and was a huge mess. (Pack didn't squeak though).
I have also had problems with extra virgin coconut oil going rancid, so for the boxes I shipped over a month in advance I used refined coconut oil.
I like to add coconut oil to a Thai curry spice packet and some dried shrimp for dinner.
I am writing a cookbook on high fat recipes for backpacking, you can see some recipes and sign up for the book release on https://ketogenicbackpacking.com/about/
The refined coconut oil doesn't have this issue. Trader Joe's jar proudly states "no flavor"
ORRR, the ancient Greeks culturally preferred olive oil because that was more locally commercially available? If you can find me anywhere substantiated by historical accounts(not opinions) ancient Greeks made "safety" comparisons between coconut oil and olive oil please share.
Of course! I used it as a natural skin moisturize, sunscreen, insect repellent, shaving cream, also coconut oil is good for burns, scratches, and blisters, due to its antibacterial effect, and for cooking (pancakes and toasts are so yummy with it!).
Coconut oil for sunscreen? Not if you're at all fair skinned!
So...because the "right study" hasn't been done yet, the scientists at the AHA are a bunch of idiots for basing their research on everything that has been done up to now and concluding something that we don't want to hear?
I take coconut oil on hikes for calories. I've also heard that it's very good for health.
Good calories and tastes great with Thai dishes.
Guess you can use coconut oil on hikes. But you should check it twice before you choose the best one. For example, I bought the Thai Coco coconut oil and the Exotic Food coconut oil. Attachment 40451 Attachment 40452 Thai Coco is a full-fat and Exotic Food contains less fat. Exotic Food coconut oil contains a bit more carbs and proteins. The Exotic Food coconut oil contains a bit more carbs and proteins. But the first one has a brighter and more authentic taste.
