Check out the following: Durapalm: Coconut-palm wood, Durapalm has a unique natural pattern and the dark tone of an exotic wood. Coconut-palm plantations produce a tremendous amount of waste in the form of "retired" trees—the trees produce nuts for eighty to one hundred years, after which planters cut them down and replace them with younger, more productive trees." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Coconut "milk" is the liquid center of a coconut. coconut "cream" is made from coconut meat. Pina colada mixes should contain coconut cream and pineapple juice.

To Karvuvu admired the women and asked how his brother had come by them. "Climb a coconut tree," To Kabinana said, "pick two unripe nuts, and throw them to the ground."

"Antiseptic fatty acids in coconut oil help to prevent fungal and bacterial infections in the skin when it is consumed in the diet, and to some extent, when it is applied directly to the skin. The Polynesians who use it regularly are rarely troubled by skin infections or acne. Our skin acts as a protective covering shielding us from harm much like a suit of flexible armor.

"When coconut oil, which is made of triglycerides, is put on the skin it doesn't have any immediate antimicrobial action. However, bacteria which are always present on the skin turn these triglycerides into free fatty acids, just as they do with sebum. The result is an increase in the number of antimicrobial fatty acids on the skin and protection from infection. The free fatty acids also help to contribute to the acidic environment on the skin which repels disease-causing germs. After all, fatty acids are acidic and, therefore, support the acid layer on the skin." - Bruce Fife and Jon J. Kabara, The Healing Miracle of coconut Oil (Get the book.)

This is because hydrogenated oils are made by heating vegetable oils in tine presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen, and whether they are hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated simply refers to the amount of hydrogen used in the process. Whether an oil is healthy or unhealthy depends not only on the source, but also how it was extracted and processed, which is especially true regarding coconut oil." - Dr. David W.
