Benefits of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has many health benefits. Lately we've been hearing about its use in boosting brain function.
Look for extra virgin,unrefined,organic oil. See Dr Mary Newton's web site for more information on how to use coconut oil. http://www.nccdp.org/resources-coconut-oil.htm

Here is my recipe for a yummy snack:
