Why Put Coconut Oil in Coffee

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. Look, I hate swallowing oils. Oil pulling has basically trained me to...
