Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi Vicki and Everyone, I'm not too sure about cocoa butter (organic or not)- but from what I understand cocoa butter is processed by boiling and therefore is not in any way a raw/living material. Also it takes an awful lot of energy for the body to break down and try to digest any kind of fats- especially cooked fats. If you are looking for a source of good, more easily assimiable fats you may want to eat whole raw foods that come with their own- avocodos, olives, durian, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds. It's probably best to use cocoa butter externally if at all. I hope others have some thoughts on this too. Be well. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I've now read www.coconut-info.com and the learned John Kabara's paper and am making an oil change.
