Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil?

Absolutely! It’s much healthier than cooking with any of a host of other cooking oils. As far as the “mainstream” mention of it being saturated, that’s only giving you half the information you need… there are good fats and bad fats, saturated and unsaturated. Coconut oil is a good fat, even though it’s saturated because it’s got a high content of Medium-Chain Triglycerides, Lauric Acid, Capric Acid and Caprylic Acid. One thing that many people don’t realize is that the MCTs are fats that your body metabolizes quickly into energy.
Yes, some of this information is comparatively new, but saturated fat isn’t necessarily bad and unsaturated isn’t necessarily good…. it’s the other properties of the oil that make the biggest difference.

Coconut oil is commonly accepted by the holistic/alternative community as a healthier oil, but some people say to stay away from all cooking oils (only eating Essential Fatty Acid oils and whatnot). It doesn’t have specific benefits for the heart, but it is healthier for the heart than Vegetable Oil and other processed oils (as an example).
The oil is only solid at room temperature (under 74 degrees F), so it won’t possibly clog up your arteries because of the texture… it melts at a much lower temperature than butter. That’s totally understandable that you want to be safe about it, but you don’t have to worry about that part.
