Right now, I use extra virgin olive oil and canola oil in my cooking.
After hearing tidbits about the benefits of coconut oil and expecially after reading The World of Oils by Lindsay, I am rethinking that.
I would like to do some more research. I will stick with the extra virgin olive oil, but I am thinking that I would like to try to get away from canola oil because it is genetically modified - which I didn't know! But there are so many studies, statements, and opinions out there, it is hard to know what to believe on GMO's. It is almost like you have to just pick a side and go with it.
Bottom line, if using coconut oil is a simple as using canola oil, and coconut oil is the more natural option, I prefer to use coconut oil.
Now, I just have to go find some that I can afford.

I haven't heard about using coconut oil instead of canola...I'll have to look it up! Your blog is interesting and smart, Emily. It makes me think! :) Hope you're having a good week!
Hey, thanks lauren! :)
I agree about needing to check our sources on foods and oils we eat. You might be interested in my post about the GMO question. I found my info from Susan's blog.
