Certain saturated fats are extremely healthy and even essential to good health...
such as coconut oil.
For a number of years, coconut oil has been vilified by the medical health authorities due to its saturated fat content
but coconut oil is unique in its structural makeup.
It is not only the highest source of saturated fats (92 percent), yet included in that number are the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are extremely beneficial to the body.
In addition, approximately 50 percent of these MCTs are made up of lauric acid, the most important fatty acid in building and maintaining the body's immune system.
The only other source of lauric acid found in such high concentrations is mother's milk.
