Olive oil and YIs?

Less of a practical question and more a theoretical one this time! (My school is doing a presentation on which lubes are safe with which materials on the quad, and I'm helping to discuss/demonstrate the topic; I'm not sure why this occurred to me, but it did.) I know all oil-based lubes aren't condom-safe, but would olive oil encourage yeast infections/other health problems if used vaginally/around the vulva area? I Googled, but I'm getting some conflicting reports and personal accounts.

I've read mixed things about olive oil as well. Coconut oil is definitely good though and -- if I remember correctly -- it may actually help prevent health problems, could you present that instead?

i've used olive oil, and it was ok. just ok. but coconut oil is amazing!
