You have been mislead by the mighty FDA, WHO and AHA concerning coconut oil. They all have the agendas of those who have lobbied them with big corporate $$$. The well oiled marketing machinery funded by the soy bean and corn industry and supported by the American Heart Association was committed to change the American Diet, calling among others, for the substitution of saturated fats for polyunsaturates.

Coconut oil is one of the richest food sources of medium chain fatty acids available, especially lauric acid, comprising almost 50% of the resource. All other vegetable oils are completely deficient in these MCFAs.

Thanks for answering that - I gave up after a couple tries and I figured someone who relied on the FDA, etc, wasn't worth the effort.

but I'm glad you did!
