Does this have the same health benefits as coconut oil?
1758311
I doubt it. It is still sugar though from a coconut, but I don't have the answer.
1758312
No, the benefits are different. The sugar comes fron the nectar of the palm tree flowers, not coconuts. The primary benefit is that it is lower glycemic sweetner than cane sugar.
1758313
No, it does not. Coconut oil's health benefits come from the types of fats that it has in it. This is purely sugar, no fat content.

I concur with the previous two responders. If you are interested in the health benefits of coconut oil, you need to look at unrefined organic extra virgin olive oil.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

Yes. It smells just like coconut. And it feels great when you apply to your skin or hair

~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin. So your dog should feel more comfortable with less dry skin, and healthier coat. This is a good product, very large amount & will last a long time. Its important for dogs, cats, and humans to have Essential Fatty Oils in their diet anyway. XO I also give my dog Coconut Oil (extra virgin)... I give my dog coconut oil, a spoonful daily on food, and I also rub it on her skin. If your dog as problem areas of skin, or dry areas, or rashes, the coconut oil will soothe it. Very healthy for them to take BOTH these oils daily. I give them to my cats too ! ~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin.

Yes, but if you can use coconut oil or almond oil, it gives it more lubricating ability as well as a nice smell.

NO, if you want something incredible for your face and body use pure raw organic coconut oil. Test a small area first {always test before using something new}. I love it and so does my skin. The honey is the best on the market and I love it also..........on toast especially.

The product details for this item provided from Nature's Way state that it is a solid oil. It would not contain pieces of whole coconut. -Swanson Health Products

No! This oil does NOT occur in nature. It's what's left after taking out the lauric acid, which is what makes coconut oil, the extremely healthy coconut oil it is. I use it because fractionated coconut oil is easily absorbed by the skin so when you combine it with OTHER products (like essential oils), they absorb into your skin much better because they hitch a ride on the fractionated coconut oil.

Coconut water and coconut oil are two different things. Just like water and oil are two different things. It's like asking, is water better than oil for cooking.

Google: Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil. Then go to: What are health benefits of organic extra virgin coconut oil - healthyeating.sfgate.com. You will have to use your own judgment. I do not have any health problems so I am not concerned with some of the issues someone with health issues might have so you will have to make your own choice after weighing all the information. There is also good information @ Tropical Traditions which also sells extra virgin organic coconut oil. I had already ordered Natures's Oil before I found this sight. Again, you'll have to make your own decision based upon your circumstances. I hope this is of help to you.

I don't know exactly...I don't think I would consume this intentionally. Fractionated coconut oil is best for skin/haircare- in which case it doesnt matter really if its refined

This is butter, not oil. Therefore, no, it is not for the same purpose, not for the same usage. This is a healthy replacement to butter. I use olive oil, and have no idea what cocoanut oil is.

It's best to give it a try. The major difference, of course, is that coconut manna comes in a glass jar and Let's Do Organic in plastic pouches. However, I don't buy both anymore as it's not raw. I buy just organic extra virgin coconut oil again.

I am not sure about that one. I know Coconut oil is good for your hair and dandruff though.
