[Sca-cooks] Coconut Oil

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

<heh>
and as someone on Atkins, i dont think animal fat is bad for you......

one of my hubby's co workers lowered his tri glycerides and cholesterol
rather astonishingly.. on atkins...eating mostly animal fats

as i was saying, some fats are better (monounsaturated) and some worse. but
only the hydrogenated stuff is in my "dont eat this" catagory.
