WalMart sells a 31.5 fl oz container of non hydrogenated coconut oil with a very resonable price. I have been cooking with coconut oil for about 3 years. One advantage of using coconut oil is that you can store it in a squirt/mist bottle. When I am broiling I spray a little extra coconut oil onto the food. Another reason I use coconut oil is that it doesn't smoke as fast as other oils. Otherwise my smoke detectors go off. . Hi,

It does not form dangerous trans fatty acids that even olive oil does, and it is far healthier than the other vegetable oils out there." Here is another: http://www.coconut-info.com/ "At one time coconut oil received negative press in the US because of its high level of saturated fat. However, modern research has shown that not all saturated fats are alike and that the fatty acids in coconut oil, the medium chain triglycerides, do not raise serum cholesterol or contribute to heart disease, but are in fact very healthy. Also, some negative studies done on coconut oil in the past was done on hydrogenated coconut oil, which has been altered from its original form. Other studies have clearly shown that traditional Asian cultures that eat significant amounts of coconut in their diet do not suffer from modern diseases seen in western cultures that promote a low-fat diet." This same article discusses weight loss benefits too. Here is one link from a very reputable source:
