Coconut Oil, like palm oil, is full of saturated fat. Its the last thing you should have.

“Three plant-based exceptions to this rule are the tropical oils - coconut, palm and palm kernel oils, and should avoid using them.”

I beg to differ. Perhaps you are unaware that BOTH medium-chain triglycerides and long-chain triglycerides are called "saturated fat," especially by the processed-food industry, and that it's the LONG-chain triglycerides that are bad for you and the MEDIUM-chain triglycerides are good for you (and THAT'S what coconut oil has).
