Why Put Coconut Oil in Coffee I don’t always drink coffee, but when I do, I don’t go to a corner café. I don’t order triple-shot lattes or icy blended confections. And I really can’t handle espresso. The reason I opt for a coffee now and then is because I love getting the energy boost and antioxidants. Most of all, it’s another opportunity to take coconut oil internally.

Is it just a placebo effect that I feel sharper when I take the supplements? The study was done over a 5 year period people over 40 and...

Drop that knife... ...and tell me if this sounds familiar. When I was young, I always wanted to cut the crusts of my sandwiches off. Among kids, this is not an uncommon preference. Inevitably, as I would run the butter knife along the edges of my peanut butter and jelly, Mom would protest. “Don’t cut off that crust - that’s where the vitamins are!” To me... this sounded very superstitious, so I wouldn’t pay her any mind.
