We still kept this page because it can not be emphasized enough that Black Lives Matter. In order to have a just society, it must be racially just. This means fair and equal treatment in all ways including housing, employment, healthcare, education, and criminalization. Even our voting laws have been enacted to suppress the voices of people of color. We work to put an end to inequality and injustice in all its forms. Our Commitment to Racial Justice can be heard here. |
Throughout our history, people of color and black people specifically have been cast as dangerous and disposable. Black and brown people are overrepresented among the poor and working-class, and efforts to 'maintain law and order' often involves harassing poor and working-class people. Segregation, inequality, and lower job opportunities has become associated with increased violent crime. In part, this association has lead to profiling that has resulted in the unjust deaths of unarmed young black men by police officers. It's up to us to change how people are seen and treated, the culture of how we maintain order, AND the way we currently rely on ineffective and biased ways of doing so. |
Once we begin to think about our own place in society, paying attention to our own privilege or lack thereof, we see so many places that inequality and injustice persist. It's important to examine ourselves in this regard and supplement self-examination with learning about becoming anti-racist and donating to anti-racist work when we can. We can support black business, authors, speakers, and coworkers. We can choose books, movies and TV shows with accurate and positive portrayals of people of color. |
Aside from our own internal processes, we can pay attention to racial bias expressed around us. When we see it, we can write letters or call government officials or organizations to report what we see and demand investigations or direct change. We can advocate for such things as body-cams and de-escalation training for police officers, along with fair housing, education, healthcare, and employment practices. When racist news circulates on social media, we can share and amplify the message. We can do our due diligence and a little research before we vote. |
Harvard psychiatrist Chester Pierce coined the term 'microaggression' to describe everyday insults that communicate hostile or negative messages either verbally or nonverbally, toward people of color. Derald Wing Sue, a Columbia psychology professor expanded the concept to include slights directed at other groups whether of different races, religions, gender, ability or sexual orientation. This type of aggression, intentional or not, has insidious effects like silencing, invalidating or humiliating another person. Chronic exposure to micro-aggressions can turn into micro-trauma. This greatly adds to the stress that marginalized people already face such as stereotyping, intersecting statuses, economic inequality. |
Chester Community Coalition works to heal the psychological and emotional impact of homicides and reduce trauma-related violence in Chester, PA. This program is an example of a group of people who saw a problem and are working towards solutions.

Seemingly overnight, coconut oil has become THE pantry staple for vegans, Paleo enthusiasts, and trend-setting fashionistas alike. |
When you consider all the new research supporting coconut oil and its health boosting properties, it becomes even clearer why this product is worth looking at. |
Much of the adoration for coconut oil stems from its unique makeup of medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs. This type of fat is rapidly metabolized in the liver and is therefore an immediate energy source; it's also easier to burn off and harder to store as fat. Some strains of MCTs, such as the lauric acid found in coconut oil, have germ-fighting properties that can eliminate disease-causing microbes and lower inflammation. |
Thanks to this concentration of healthy fats, plus potent antioxidants, and antiviral and antibacterial effects, coconut oil offers health benefits in many forms: |
Promotes heart health by increasing stores of good HDL cholesterol and reducing bad LDL cholesterol |
Supports ketone production in the brain, which can help Alzheimer's patients |
Reduces triglycerides that helps to protect the liver from damage |
Has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the symptoms of arthritis and the risk for developing chronic diseases |
Increases bone volume, which could fight against developing osteoporosis |
May reduce tumor growth and improve the quality of life for cancer patients |
Supports weight loss and fights obesity by reducing C-reactive proteins |
Eliminates the bacteria in saliva, which is key in fighting plaque and gingivitis |
Can help clear up infections |
With everyone so enamored with coconut oil, there are now hundreds of choices on the market: Refined, unrefined, pure, virgin, RBD, copra—it can be overwhelming knowing which one to purchase. Refined and unrefined coconut oil have taken up much of the focus; while both provide benefits, what's the difference between refined and unrefined coconut oil? Let's take a closer look examining each. |
Refined coconut oil, also known as "RBD coconut oil" and "copra oil," has been processed through a technique called "dry milling." First, the coconuts are baked to a dried state, which pulls the oil from the meat. Then the coconut oil is put through a bleaching process which helps kill off any microbes like fungi and bacteria, while also removing any dust particles or insects. It's important to note the bleaching process is not a chemical process, but rather a filtering process through a bleaching clay. |
However, some lesser-quality brands of refined coconut oil can be partially hydrogenated, which means hydrogen has been added to the liquid oil to morph it into solid form. This is dangerous because it produces an extremely unhealthy form of fats called trans fats. When shopping for coconut oil, take a good look at the label to ensure you are getting the purest and highest quality product. |
Is refined coconut oil healthy? |
When it comes to their nutritional profiles, refined and unrefined coconut oil are very similar. Both refined and unrefined coconut oil are dairy-free oils that can be used in a wide variety of cooking and baking recipes, and they both provide beneficial fats. But the answer to the question, 'is refined coconut oil healthy' all depends on how the refined coconut oil is produced. |
Thrive Market Organic Refined Coconut Oil starts with organic, ethically sourced coconuts and is made using a steam refining process that does not require any harsh chemicals like hexane. This expeller-pressing method also does not produce trans fats. In short, refined coconut oil can be healthy, as long as you choose a reputable brand that is transparent about their sourcing and production processes. |
Unrefined coconut oil, also referred to as "virgin coconut oil" or "pure coconut oil," is extracted through a process called "wet milling." In wet milling, the oil is extracted directly from fresh coconuts creating an emulsion of water and oil. The oil is then removed with a centrifuge. Wet milling is a quicker process than dry milling because it does not require bleaching to keep the concentration sanitary. Unrefined coconut oil is also the purest option available. |
Pros of refined coconut oil |
Refined coconut oil offers several benefits in the areas of flavor, texture, and beauty applications. When looking at refined vs. unrefined coconut oil, these benefits really stand out in the refined variety's favor. |
For those that don't care for the flavor of coconut, the process of refining coconut oil removes most of the exotic top notes, leaving behind a nearly tasteless and deodorized oil that can be used seamlessly in numerous recipes. |
With a rich concentration of vitamin E, coconut oil is an antioxidant that works to fight free radical damage and prevent early signs of aging. Its saturated fat content also makes it super moisturizing, so it's ideal for use in beauty routines, such as creating luxurious skin creams and nourishing hair conditioners. However, for these purposes, refined oil is the better choice since it is more hygienic in nature. |
When you need a cooking oil to flash fry, sauté, or stir-fry, the higher (400 degree) smoke point of refined coconut oil makes it more versatile in the kitchen. |
Of the two types of coconut oil, refined and unrefined, refined coconut oil is often the more affordable of the two. It also has a longer shelf life, making it a more prime choice for those on a budget. |
Pros of unrefined coconut oil |
While unrefined and refined coconut oil both offer similar benefits in terms of health and wellness, there are a few key areas where the unrefined option can stand out. Here are the biggest benefits to using unrefined vs. refined coconut oil. |
Since virgin unrefined coconut oil is minimally processed, it has more nutritional value than refined coconut oil. That's because the heat from the dry milling and bleaching activities has an effect on the oil's nutrients, reducing the number of polyphenols and medium-chain fatty acids naturally present—polyphenols hold all the antioxidant properties and medium-chain fatty acids provide the anti-inflammatory benefits. So, when it comes to nutritional healing, unrefined coconut oil is the better option. Refined coconut oil still has these nutrients, but less quantity. |
If you desire a deeper, more interesting flavor, unrefined coconut oil is the preferable option. It's not deodorized and maintains the fullest taste of coconut, allowing you to infuse foods like curry dishes and coconut cream pies with an extra pop of flavor that's perfect for your taste buds. |
Organic unrefined coconut oil makes the perfect healthy alternative to butter or lard in any recipe. It has a similar smoke point (350 degrees) of those two ingredients, but won't contribute any of the trans fats. |
Since unrefined coconut oil hasn't gone through the same processes that the refined version has, it is a much purer, more natural result. This means you're getting the most health benefits with the pure option. |
Cons of refined coconut oil |
When dealing with refined coconut oil, there are also a few not as glamorous properties you should know as well before making your purchasing decision. |
Less depth of flavor |
Since the refining process removes most of the taste of coconut oil, it will not add the same depth of flavor to dishes. While this is perfectly fine to some people, others may enjoy the additional taste elements brought by unrefined coconut oil, such as when preparing desserts. |
Refined coconut oil is much less pure than unrefined coconut oil, so if you're looking for a food product closer to what nature intended, go with the unrefined option. |
Cons of unrefined coconut oil |
However, unrefined coconut oil also has a few downsides you'll want to consider when making the best purchasing decision. |
Unrefined oil can come with a slightly higher price tag. It's a small difference, but for those on a budget, it's one worth paying attention to. There are more cost-effective options like Thrive Market Organic Virgin Coconut Oil that help you save and still get the oil you really want. |
Unrefined coconut oil won't last quite as long on the shelf, either. This may not be a problem if you fall for the product and use it quickly (see: all its various uses), but it's still worth considering. |
Less recipe compatibility |
In some recipes, the added taste of coconut is amazing. But, there are some instances where you may not want that rich, deep flavor that unrefined coconut oil can bring with it. |
The lower smoke point of unrefined coconut oil (350 degrees) means that it isn't the best choice for when you want to fry or sauté foods. |
Is refined or unrefined coconut oil better? The final word on refined vs unrefined coconut oil |
It seems like a simple question: Is refined or unrefined coconut oil better? The answer, however, is a little bit more complex. It depends on many things, including what you plan to use the coconut oil for, your personal preferences, your dietary needs, and of course, the quality of the specific coconut oil you buy. |
When weighing the differences between refined or unrefined coconut oil, both options are worth considering in order to find the one that's perfect for you. It may just come down to a matter of personal preference or cooking applications (if you like a higher smoke point or less flavor, for instance). Or perhaps, buy a jar of each and use them in their best capacities. |
Recipes featuring coconut oil |
As you might have already guessed, coconut oil is one of the most versatile items you can stock in your kitchen for your healthy cooking projects. Coconut oil, refined or unrefined, can be easily swapped into nearly any recipe that calls for vegetable oil or olive oil or butter or lard. Here are a few of Thrive Market's favorite ways to use a jar. |
Going vegan isn't as difficult as it may seem, not with all the versatile substitutes available, such as natural coconut oil that can be inserted in place of butter. Try these double chocolate cupcakes or the coconut-lime version, which also use almond milk, apple cider vinegar, gluten-free flours, and a host of organic seasonings for impeccable flavor. There's also instructions on how to make vegan sprinkles and an easy, dairy-free vanilla frosting. |
No need to run to the store for your favorite candy. You can make those tasty peanut butter cups at home—and make them even more healthy! This creative recipe uses almond butter, maple syrup, raw honey, vanilla, sea salt, dark chocolate, and of course some coconut oil to make up for the fat content. One bite and you may never go back. |
You don't have to be a kid to enjoy the everlasting flavor of s'mores. This recipe matures the original with caramelized banana slices, homemade marshmallow fluff, and chocolate-dipped grahams. Coconut oil is used to cook the bananas (as is coconut sugar); you'll also need some grass-fed gelatin and honey for the marshmallows and a good bar of dark chocolate to whip up this batch.<eot>Lizzie Fortunato Modern Craft Earrings from Saint Cloud | Garmentory |

Beware this Ancient Egyptian Monster of the Dark! |
The ancient Egyptians often represented gods as human with animal heads. Usually, we can tell exactly what kind of animal they meant. But there's one god--Set or Seth, the god of chaos and darkness--whose animal representation remains unclear. |
Dude, what are you--a camel? Anteater? And what's with those ears? |
When he's depicted as a full animal, the body is clearly some sort of canine (being the dawg he is), but nobody knows for sure what his head is supposed to represent. Some think it could be the Fennec fox, found in remote areas of southern Egypt. |
Possibly. But I dunno. The ears might work, but these cute little foxes don't seem as if they would be as fearsome as you would expect from the god of chaos, destruction and danger. Also, they don't have the straight tail with the bushy end as shown on the hieroglyph of Set. |
