I checked out Skinny Bitches receipes (I can't remember the exact name but, as a cliff not, I really dislike that they refer to themselves that way) and there was a section discussing coconut oil and how different oils change molecular structure at certain heats and some of them are actually toxic. They say they use coconut oil for all of their cooking that is heated. Now I was aware that oils react differenly at various temperatures; such as not frying with olive oil, etc. but I never knew that any could be toxic????? Can anyone enlighten me on this one? Also, in my Nutrition 101 class I think I remember coconut actually being one of the only saturated oils that were fruit based? How healthy is it to use coconut oil for everything. I was intrigued because there acutally is a blurb about it in the book Vegan Planet but nothing really in depth about the fat content.

I've been following Dr. McDougall's starch-based, no added fat program since the end of the March kickstart and find I can cook most anything without the use of any oils at all. Water is amazing! His website is full of recipes and helpful information, his whole program in fact, and for free to boot. http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2006nl/may/coconut.htm A search of the website might give you more answers to your specific questions. Glad that so many of our kickstarters are still monitoring the site and looking forward to Sept. 6. Linda Linda

I have, however, been checking in. Thanks so much for the only response to my question. It is all very confusing. I must admit that since the Jan. 2010 Kickstart I have learned to cook many things with water too. Which amazed me! I just can't seem to kick the oil habit completely. My husband is Greek and he loves that olive oil and so do I! I will check ou your suggested link. By the way how is your diet change going Mcdougal, right? Thanks again.
