Hey everyone! Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on coconut oil. I have read in some articles that it can help with weight loss and is considered a "healthy oil/fat" and then I have read others cautioning about the amount of saturated fat. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

    A search of coconut oil with give you about 20 threads over the past couple days about it. Must have been some newsflash about it recently?

    I recommend the book by Dr. Mary T. Newport, "Alzheimer's Disease: What if There Was a Cure." Her focus was on its benefits for memory, but she also has a great chapter on coconut oil and saturated fats.
