@Justin Unlike most other type of oils, coconut oil is converted to energy quickly. There is no negative effects known from consuming "too much" coconut oil although most of the time, I and family members (we're 4 generations under one roof) love to have half a coconut to one a day.

The coconut juice can be in our vegetable and fruit juice mix; the flesh is added to our ice-cream dessert or eaten raw with filtered water ice-cubes. We use the coconut milk for our curry dishes (lesser chilli powder will make it less spicier). Add lemon grace juice for an authentic Thai curry flavour!

Sometimes we replace chicken with slices of young coconut flesh. We enjoy it so much we don't really miss meat (only i and my brother are vegetarians in the family - the rest are on reduced meats).

Flaxseed oil is a good alternative because it is the only major grain rich in Omega-3 oils. However, it is not suitable for cooking. I'd love to know if Dr. Mercola or anyone has advise for 'Bklynrk'.

Would you suggest adding a coconut a day a diet? Or is that too much?

Thank you,

Justin.

How does virgin coconut/oil fit into blood typing? My blood type is B pos non-secretor and coconut is not even on my list of usable foods. This would suggest that I should not use it. Is this correct?

I also have clients with other blood types that are not supposed to use coconut/oil. For example, there is a lady with A Pos Secretor blood who has an extreme case of candidiasis who I believe could benefit from the virgin coconut/oil. Please advise.
