What else is coconut oil especially good for?

Cardiovascular disease. Unlike other vegetable oils,
it's highly saturated -- more saturated than lard.

I guess that's why those SE Asians live so long, coconut and palm
oil being the most common oil in most of those countries.

You got it steve.
Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils around.,
I use it for almost anything I fry.
It is a little expensive but well worth it when you smell that wonderful
fragrance as it heats up.

For fried shrimp I get the oil almost to smoking. Dump in the (floured)
shrimp. Toss in a couple of finely chopped cloves.
Flip the shrimp around for about three minutes.
Squeeze a fresh lime over all and plate.
Heaven!
