I also note from the link at the article that coconut oil is recommended for cooking. What happened to the big coconut oil scare of a few years ago? Rush talks about this sometimes because coconut oil is the best for making popcorn but then a lot of movie theaters removed it.

I use only extra-vergin olive oil for salads and soups, not recommended for frying. Coconut oil is very healthy, I buy mine from the Health Food stores. Wonderful as a spread on toast. It’s expensive but a jar lasts me a long time. Stay away from canola, from my readings it’s made probably with genetically modified corn.
I think what Rush referred to was that coconut oil was not used anymore for popcorn in theaters because the companies were looking for cheaper ways to pop the corn (I might be wrong on this).
Dr. Mercola and earthclinic.com all recommend coconut oil.

We’ve started using coconut oil almost exclusively. But you have to get the NON-HYDROGENATED coconut oil. It’s expensive, so we don’t get the best out there. Do a search on coconut oil. You will be surprised at what you find - especially regarding Alzheimer’s
