Can we use oil for cooking?
We strictly do not recommend using oils. Oils are not wholesome food, even if they are cold-pressed. There's a reason why Mother Nature gives us coconut, but not coconut oil, mustard seeds but not mustard oil. Eat whole foods, straight from Nature, the way you find them in Nature. When we make oil, we extract only the fat from the whole food. So oil is a highly concentrated food item and thus is difficult for our body to digest. Hence, it accumulates in our organs and blocks their functioning. Oil especially when cooked is highly toxic. Most refined oils that you get in the market are heated at high temperatures to increase their shelf life. As an alternative - add freshly grated coconut to your food instead of coconut oil. Add the whole avocado, instead of avocado oil.
However, you can apply coconut oil to your skin & hair.
