A member asked:
Why it's been said that coconut oil has healthy fats and may help reduce fat when it actually is only more abundance in saturated fats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coconut oil: There are many, easy to read articles on the internet related to coconut oil. I don't think that is of much concern, and I would appreciate hearing from you when you have read a few articles.
