Sorry to tell you but are wrong about Coconut Oil and Palm Kernal oil. They are both very good for you and are like the only two saturated fats that do not turn to fat in the body but actually cleanse the liver and is very good for you.

I have posted several articles myself about the benefits of coconut oil if you would like to read them.
I agree with the earlier comment about coconut oil. In fact, I'm seeing more of this product on the shelves at health food stores and in the vitamin section of places that I shop. Saturated fat is NO WHERE NEAR as bad as unnatural trans-fats that you find in any product that has the ingredient "hydrogenated oil".
Coconut oil is actually very good for you, and makes for a very flavorful (and healthy) oil for cooking (I use it for curry chicken all the time and it's very good.)
Very great information
