What's the verdict on this? I got served it in a coffee once and told it had various health benefits. I've been putting it in my morning coffee for around the past 2-3 weeks, mainly because I like the taste, but haven't noticed anything physically different. Is it just another magical health meme food, or is there a genuine benefit to including it into your diet?

People don't fully understand the health benefits/downsides of coconut oil yet.

It adds a nice coconutty flavour to things you fry it in and makes your hair smooth and shiny if you rub it into your scalp.

I put a bit on my oatmeal, it helps with the consistency. I also use it on skin and sometimes hair (I like olive oil better). I don't notice great effects but I have an overall healthy diet so IDK.

it's hyped by clueless idiots; it's just straight-up saturated fat and hence a solid at room temperature. I'd rather just eat delicious butter or animal fats.

coconut is a great lubricant. you can freeze little drops of it, grab a few from the freezer and warm them up in your hands as needed. a little goes a long way. it's also edible, obviously, so that's a plus.

there are real health benefits. coconut oil falls in the medium chain triglycerides category which means your body wont store the fat so your body will try to use it as energy and just send it through. if youre looking for something to amp your coffee do straight up MCT oil, be careful, especially if youre not a really healthy person. MCT oil wants to bind to things in your stomach and if its junk it cant and itll just pass right through you (diarrhea). but if you add it to your coffee it binds to the caffeine and releases slower throughout the day, so you have caffeine as an upper already, pair it with MCT which is also an upper and you have some nice strong coffee.

by that logic, you should not eat food.

My girlfriend puts coconut oil in her coffee and it's called a bullet coffee. It's meant to have you absorb caffeine better and coconut oil is known to have the healthier fats compared to butter

Makes freaking sense, first filter naturally occurring oils in coffee then add oils from another nut.

What kind of a tropical coutry do you live in where it doesnt get solid at room temp? even in summer I have to keep my cooking oil in a can so I can scrape some off for the pan...
it's the best lubricant for sexy times. I'd suggest having it seperate from the cooking stuff.
also, putting it in coffee? sure its healthy as an alternative to other oils, but straight up eatint it where you wouldn't need other fats is strange. or would any of you guys put butter in your coffee otherwise?

ok after I fap with it, Ill wipe off as much oil as I can into a plastic container and send it to a third world country, ok, sport? Ill jizz all in it too so they get some extra nutrients. The coconut oil will preserve it.
There are jewtube videos of teenagers filling pools with soda and crashing a drone into it for no reason and youre choosing to get angry about someone using a small amount from a 5 Dollar jar of oil to fap? lol youre such a faggot.
