So you're pressing some of your own oil?
Nah, it comes from Wilderness Family Naturals. Rather pricey, but it's FAR better than the expeller-pressed stuff. I was amazed at the difference. It seems that a little bit of heat really can ruin a food.
That's really interesting. I wish I had access to better coconuts to even make that worth it for me. When I have coconuts I send them through a juicing screen and out comes some really nice tasting cream. I've also eaten the coconut fiber from the juicer separately and again, too much gave me nausea. I think in my case that too much of the coconut fat, or too much of the fiber will upset my digestion. I haven't had this happen with any other foods though.
I haven't seen anyone else report this, but I actually seem to tolerate the unprocessed coconut meat best. However, I did overdo it one time and was sick for most of a day.
In your case it seems like the most natural processes are tolerated best?
Yeah, it's rather interesting. So far nature and the most primitive peoples have been the best guides for me, much more so than scientists, physicians, most bloggers and forum/blog commenters, and so forth (though some folks here have been extremely helpful and I'm thankful for that). I suppose it's a sort of "Instincto" approach that has worked best for me, except with some cooking included (sorry if that offends).
Some of the super-genius bloggers who claim that cooking is fine and heat not much of a factor would probably condemn my regimen as "Paleo emulation" or some such thing, but the reason I do it is because it has worked best among what I've tried, not because it's so-called "emulation" (and I'm not even a 100% pure emulator anyway). Whatever the reason, I've just found that nature tends to steer me more in the right direction than the "experts."
