Hello Alana and everyone,
I'm still here, reading your messages and posting them as they come
in. I've been working on a new book that will be out in January.

You are so right about Dr. Weil and others who have apparently not
considered the fact that coconut oil has been used traditonally by
many cultures for a long time without any health problems occuring.
If this oil were the cause of heart disease then many populations
would have died out long ago as a result. Rather, it has been our
refined, treated, and adulterated food that has caused so much illness
in the last 100 years.

For everyone who is enjoying coconut oil, stick with it. It's the
best oil for cooking that I've ever found.
Best of health,
Cherie Calbom
