If you take vitamin A supplements, that is a problem.
From what I understand, Beta Carotene as a vitamin A source is not going
to reach toxic levels as your body only converts what it can use.

She may, however, turn orange... and I'm not kidding. ;-)

I have to watch this with dad. He has a passion for carrots. I can
steam him 2 lbs. of "baby" carrots and they'll be gone at the end of the
day, especially if I "treat" them. I'll steam them first, then coat
them lightly with Olive or Coconut oil, then toss the oiled carrots in a
mix of salt free lemon pepper and dill weed.

He especially likes the coconut oil coated ones as it adds a sweet
flavor.

For the record, there have been a number of health benefit alerts on the
'net for Coconut oil lately and it's $2.00 to $3.00 per liter cheaper
than Olive oil...

I've even been experimenting with frying in it as it has a higher smoke
point. Great for steaks!
