Coconut oil or Butter

I have been using a teaspoon of coconut oil in my morning coffee plus 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream to start my day off with getting fats in my diet, I have been reading lately about using Butter,  Does anyone know if their is a big difference?   Is one better than the other?  Also I read an article this past week that coconut oil should not be ingested only used on your skin. Any thoughts on that??

    Coconut oil is wonderful and very good for your health. In your coffee: its more on taste. If you like one way more than the other, go for it. I'm all for getting the best out of each so I would either do a little of both or switch off using butter some days, coconut oil others. Keeps from getting bored that way 😎

    Thank you for your answer, I have always had my coffee with just cream never liked it sweet but I must admit i really like it with coconut oil   I'll try 1/2 butter & 1/2 coconut oil in the am & see how it goes, it just kinda freaked me out when I read the article that you should never ingest coconut oil just use it on your skin 😨

  • Hi, I really appreciate coconut oil, but its taste is something that I don't like. Can you help me on this matter? What’s the best and tasty flavor you could recommend me? I am using Coco Treasure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

    Laura Jason Mct oil is made from coconut oil. It is stronger and has no taste. Just be sure to start out slow to avoid stomach upset...a serving is usually 1 Tb but I would start with 1 tsp and go up from there over the next week or so.
