There's actually published research that the MCTs in it are metabolized differently than the LCTs in most oils. Of course, it's also very highly-saturated (but not trans-fat), so there are tradeoffs to the "healthiness" of it.
Then again, studies comparing its weight loss potential to other oils show very little benefit... like any other "wonder" product, you have to manage your expectations.

Since we bought it for the dog, I let price guide the purchase. The brand was LouAna, they make other oils as well. I think peanut oil is a bigger product for them.
If I do buy any for myself, I will surely purchase a different brand and hope for a better product.
Meanwhile the dog is ill, having been fed everything from Trix cereal to blueberries all weekend by my 2 year old poorly supervised grandson. She can't wait for normality to return along with a daily teaspoon of coconut oil.

may I suggest playing South Indian music also ? In Southern states ofIndia, coc it's are a major produce. They have figured out tp put to use EVERY part of the tree.
It is used extensively in cooking, and as hair oil. Quite nourishing. There is research in the West that daily ingestion of coconut oil will definitely postpone the use of Alzheimer's.
My weekly massage is done with coconut oil. You can buy it in liquid form at Indian grocery stores.
