This might be a dumb question, but is coconut oil the same as palm oil? I'm not really educated in the benefits of different oils, only really know the basics that olive oil and others like canola are better than some others. However I do remember my mother always saying that palm oil was one of the worst oils for your health, this of course was many years ago. I guess since coconuts come from palm trees it got me wondering if they were the same thing does anyone know???
