Is, as far as I can sort out from research, pretty much universally acknowledged to be an improvement health-wise on hydrogenated oil (such as Crisco, or margarine) or butter. There is disagreement on whether it is better than olive oil. Lynn would say yes, while most sources say olive oil is better. In any case, coconut oil is delicious and I wish I had a cheap nearby source for it because it's a pain to get to the nearest place that sells it.

Jenny, you've never had soy sauce? I thought you sometimes ate at Chinese restaurants.
