Coconut Oil Healthy?

• arclein
Coconut’s saturated fat is made up of a unique blend of medium-chain fatty acids, which may offer certain health benefits. (Most fats in our diet are long-chain fatty acids). Unlike long-chain fats, medium-chain ones do not have to be broken down in the small intestine. Because they are smaller, they’re absorbed intact and delivered directly to the liver to be used for energy.
