		<description>This is from the first source you cite:

"Thus, despite similar total saturated fatty acid composition and a
higher total percentage of the cholesterolelevating fatty acids
(lauric, myristic and palmitic acids) in the coconut oil diet
compared with the butter diet, levels of total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower on the oil coconut diet.  The data provide confirmation that butter,  a source of fat rich in palmitic acid, has a greater hypercholesterolemic effect than coconut oil that is rich in lauric acid.-Cox, C., J.
Mann, W. Sutherland, A. Chishoh, and M. Skeaff

Doesn't this support the claim that coconut oil IS good for you???

Also, what are the studies that detail the effects of UNHYDROGENATED coconut oil? It is very hard to find any that specifically mention the unhydrogenated coconut oil.</description>
