the general consesus is that saturated fats are bad for you.
coconut oil is about 80% saturated fat.
So why is it good to ingest?
I found this about MCT's:
Quote:

"Coconut oil and palm kernels are stuffed with these fat molecules, which are much smaller than those found in the majority of dietary fats, meaning that they're digested faster and can be used as an immediate source of fuel instead of hanging around inside our fat cells. Nutritionists in the know already advise cooking with organic coconut oil, which contains fewer calories than any other fat and is, paradoxically, more satisfying than other fats, meaning that when it is added to meals you'll stay full for longer and will consume less food overall."

But i'm not sure
Does anyone eat it on a regular basis? What does it do for you?
