the benefits of coconut oil are getting more and more exposure
got some a while back when they were 2 for £3 @ amazon but had to spend £20 to get free delivery
use it now for cooking, moisturiser, its odourless too

This stuff has absolutely no heath benefits if eaten apart from the calories to stop you dying of starvation.

This one perfect for cooking - better than cold-pressed which contains impurities which will burn when heated and become potentially toxic. Exactly as Extra Virgin Olive oil is not good for cooking for the same reasons, and in fact should never be used for frying. Refined oils are far more healthy for cooking.
As to the vitamins etc - this is an oil not a smoothie. Most water soluble and protein based items will be absent. You will get far more vitamins etc etc from eating one square cm of coconut than you will from a jar of cold pressed coconut oil.

What do you use it for as I only use organic cold pressed for the health benefits. Isn't this one a bit pointless?

Maybe if you don't want your food to taste of coconut.... This has 99.9% of the the health benefits of organic cold pressed coconut oil.

This one's ok for beauty but not for cooking as so processed it's no health benefits.

That's just not true. What are the additional known health benefits of it being organic, cold pressed or otherwise?

If you google it you would know, cold pressed means majority of the vitamins and minerals stay rather than being heat to the point of loosing them all, as for organic source I think everyone knows what it means. The ktc one has absolutely no health benefits its like eating an apple candy rather than an apple.

Yes olive oil you should never heat but coconut oil is the one that can be heated and its the only vegetable oil that should be heated.Bit of research and you would know that. Im a healthy lifestyle promoter and when it comes to those things I know for sure cos this is how I earn my money. Obviously everyone has their own opinion but you can't foul your body with what you put in it.

For frying and roasting I stick to clarified organic (grass fed) butter, then use organic raw coconut oil for things like bean fudge, which aren't cooked. EV Olive Oil for roasting veg at a low temperature.
