Coconut oil doesn’t contain your average run-of-the-mill saturated fats like you would find in cheese or steak. But contain medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) – which are fatty acids of a medium length,most of the fatty acids in our diet are long-chain fatty acids, but the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently.
