Re: Which oil is the best oil?
I still use olive oil 99% of the time. I always have - just like it and am the most comfortable with olive oil. That being said, I will use coconut oil in some instances. I do like it - I just don't like it for everything. Lady A - look to California for your pure, unadulterated olive oil. There is...
