Using nomenclature like "virgin" and "organic" isn't at all useful because there is sadly no agreement as to just what those terms entail. This is specially baffling when it comes to coconut oil, because it is refined coconut oil that is useful to temperatures of 180 degrees C. Without processing to get rid of protein and water, coconut oil will smoke and "stink" at temperatures far short of 180 degrees C and, yes, this suggests that oxidation is occurring at a fast rate. Raw coconut oil that has never seen temperatures above ambient in the course of extraction still holds proteins, enzymes and water. These residuals are usually considered healthful, giving coconut oil its pleasing aroma among other things.

The coconut oil will most likely be very beneficial to John & his digestive system. You could start by using olive oil in this recipe and transition to coconut oil the next time to see how he does. I'd actually suggest to start incorporating this beneficial oil into your everyday cooking. Here is a great description from The Weston Price Foundation: "Coconut oil is anti-viral, and contains lauric, capric and caprylic acids--recommended to combat candida. Coconut oil is so beneficial for digestive health that years ago a person suffering from Crohn’s disease wrote to "Dear Abby" insisting that eating macaroons eliminated symptoms of the disease. The macaroons contained sugar, white flour, bad oils and guess what. . . 6 to 8 grams of fats from coconut! Even amidst the bad ingredients, the fatty acids in coconut oil helped this person with Crohn’s!" Enjoy! Thanks for checking out recipe and blog Aunt Trish!
