Coconuts especially coconut oil has become such a popular topic that no matter where you go, you will hear people talk about using coconut oil and the many ways coconut oil can help you.

I never realized how popular coconuts were really that popular but take a listen to this 1949 hit by Freddy Martin ” Iv’e got a lovely bunch of coconuts”

Before sharing with you a SlideShare I have done on the uses of coconut oil, I thought it would be fun to share some quotes ( ya no kidding!) about coconuts…

If you take 12 waters from the coconut – not the ones you buy in the store, although that’s good – but the fresh coconuts, the little brown ones with the three eyes, if you take 12 of those within 24 hours, your blood will go back to the way it was when you were born.
~Dick Gregory

If you knock your head against a wall, then a coconut tree and pillar and your head still remains undamaged my child, go and hide that head of yours; it is a good head.
