>The studies on coconut oil saying that it contributes to healh issues have been picked apart for their flaws. Medium chain triglycerides are shorter chain fatty acids that do not have to go through the same conversion process that other saturated fats do. This means the fats are utilized fairly quickly as an energy source. I know several people that consume lots of coconut oil, and plenty of other sources of saturated fats, and have not gained any weight because of it.
It will be studied more in the coming years. MCT's and saturated fats from other foods will eventually be praised for their health benefits. We've likely gotten it all wrong over the last several decades.
I think everyone should check out Mark's Daily Apple. There are many studies and analysis of studies presented and reviewed on Mark's Sisson's site with regards to nutrition.
Another good site to go to is on by Denise Minger. I can't remember the name of the site off hand, but if you google her name I'm sure the site will come up.
