Last month, Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr credited her clear skin, glossy hair and great figure to coconut oil.“I personally take four tablespoons of coconut oil per day, either on my salads, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea,” the model and mother of one told Australian Cosmopolitan magazine.
Mrs. Orlando Bloom’s beauty-secret confession resulted in a reported spike in coconut-oil sales in the U.K., with a more than 50 per cent increase at national health-food chain, Holland & Barrett’s.
A four-tablespoon of coconut oil contains a daunting 468 calories. Is this “secret” worth trying?
