I love and use virgin Coconut oil...even for my skin!
I cook with mine. I keep a pint bottle on my stove, and put the bottle near the pilot light so it is always liquid. I take coconut oil caps every day, and use it on my skin, as well. The medium-chain fatty acids are so good for us. If you don't have it already, get a copy of Mary Enig's Know Your Fats" to get a real handle on the good stuff. She is a lipid biochemist (I think that's what it is) and a nutritionist, and specializes in dietary fats.
