Very few people know that there is more than one type of saturated fat. Coconut oil is a unique saturated fat because it is predominantly medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Almost all other dietary oils/fats are mostly, if not entirely, long chain fatty acids (LCFA). MCFAs are so different from LCFAs. Their absorption, transport, metabolism and uses are completely different. Just my two cents. Cheers, CoconutOilGuy CoconutOilGuy Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:24:16 +0100
