So can I use this. Sorry if this a stupid question im just really new to this diet. Thanks for any help.

They contain long chain fatty acids, but coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids (MCT) which actually lowers the risk of high cholesterol & heart disease.

The animals used were not humans. Often in such research they do compose "diets" of several simple substances and then claim that they resemble human diets, when in no way do they. For instance, a rat diet for an experiment may be composed of casein for protein, crisco for fat, and sucrose for carbohydrates in varying quantities. They compare with controls on a rat chow diet and then draw conclusions about human diets. Hundreds of millions of people eat coconut products daily, yet populations of countries where it has been a mainstay are healthy. The fact is that the research used to base policy on was preliminary and faulty in that they drew conclusions that were unwarranted.
