I love it so much! And, then I have to say- isn't coconut oil considered a "saturated fat" as well as palm kernel oil? I mean, they are both medium chain fatty acids and good for you, but sort of more saturated than unsaturated. That is what I thought was true, anyway. I just think any whole, cold pressed plant based oils/fats are better than heated oils, and those from animal sources. Anyway- its awesome you are doing these posts to help these people out!Trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514119818594309591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-11830181993024703992009-07-31T12:20:14.239-06:002009-07-31T12:20:14.239-06:00Trish the dish: You are right about coconut oil a...Trish the dish: You are right about coconut oil and other tropical oils they do have quite a bit of saturated fat. But from what I have learned and my experience because it is a fruit it's molecular structure is different then saturated fat from animals. Your body is able to process it much more effectively. It simply knows better what to do with it instead of storing it. We actually all need some saturated fat especially children for brain growth etc. We eat it ALL the time and I who can put on weight like nobodies business have not notice a problem with it. Also coconut oil can be heated and still be good for you because it is more stable. So it is the BEST oil to cook and fry with other oils including extra virgin olive oil are best not heated too high at that point they become more like the partially hydrogenated oils and your body again doesn't process them as effectively and will store them.<br><br>If you would like a nice visual experiment as to why the coconut oil is better try taking some butter and/or margarine in one hand and some coconut oil in the other hand. Watch to see which one melts faster and becomes liquid at body temperature. I say the faster it melts and more liquid it becomes at body temperature the less likely it is to clog your arteries!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-67665323346752748132009-08-06T11:15:11.687-06:002009-08-06T11:15:11.687-06:00Well I know coconut oil is better for you, I'm...Well I know coconut oil is better for you, I'm just saying that technically it is a "saturated fat".
