And that's the main reason I use it. Many other oils (corn, canola, etc.) either give me severe heartburn, or do a number to my digestive system. I recently ate some delicious chocolate banana bread that my niece had given me. I was up all night, in agony. Knowing her financial situation, I'm sure she uses the cheapest oil (probably canola) she can find. I make banana bread, brownies, cookies and several other things using coconut oil, with absolutely no problems. I know what my system likes, and what it doesn't.
Webmd, like the FDA, has close ties, and is financial beholden to the pharmaceutical industry. There's no money for them in natural products. Of course they're not going to promote them. Dig a little deeper for info on coconut oil. It may not be the panacea that some claim, but it certainly does less harm (thus healthier) than some of the more popular, highly marketed oils. Tastes better too.
