Question about coconut oil?

[brnfmlymom]

OK- here's another crazy question. I was noticing there are quite a few raw smoothie recipes I have found that contain coconut oil. I read somewhere that coconut oil is very high in saturated fat. The jar of coconut oil I have confirms that fact .... yet it says - no trans fats.

Is ALL saturated fat bad for you? Should I avoid it all together if I have 10-15 pounds to lose?

P.S.- I had a major craving for chocolate today and bought a Lara bar Cocoa Mole flavor - WOW!!! LOOOOOVE it! :p

Read up on the health benefits of coconut oil, the bad rap it's gotten and the kind of fat it is at www.mercola.com. . . . there's GREAT information there. Just search "coconut oil" on the site.
