I cant say about its benefits but it tastes disgusting!

My step-MIL bought a big bottle of it because I said I liked coconut so she gave me a huge glass of it with our dinner and I was expecting it to taste of coconut...it doesnt. It tasted of lukewarm sea water

You can buy it in Costco. It's long life and does not need to be refrigerated.
I love it but it must be ice cold. It's also good as a base for smoothies. Yesterday I had it with blended banana and passion fruit, delicious!

I love it. Tesco sell it, and I've had it delivered from Amazon too.

I love it!
Lots more supermarkets have started stocking it recently. Morrisons had it last week. I had to get it from Waitrose before.

I've not noticed any difference skin or health wise. But, it's supposed to be really good at hydrating you so I use it during and after exercise.

It is utterly revolting by itself. Can imagine it as a smoothie base. Not remotely coconutty.

I love it and drank it every day for a couple of months last year. I actually can't remember why it stopped, but it was having some sort of negative effect on me. Just can't remember what it was . I think I suspected it was making my dark circles worse or something.

It was really lovely, chilled, in that heatwave we had.

why I stopped, not why it* stopped

Coconut Oil, as sold in H&B, is meant to have amazing health benefits, even said to inhibit the development of Parkinson's and other old-age ailments such as Alzheimers.

Thing is, it does remind me of the hype surrounding pomegranite juice all those years ago, which was also touted as the cure for everything.
