In defence of Rick, leave no stone unturned, but carefully.
i thought i would see if there was any constituent in coconut oil that could benefit us, ie an antiinflammatory, antioxidant etc.
Unfortunately I could only find saturated fats mainly, with no trace of anything I could imagine was beneficial.
Typical was
Coconut oil is a triglyceride containing 86.5% saturated fatty acids, 5.8% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 1.8% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Of its saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is primarily 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8% myristic acid and 8.2% palmitic acid, though it contains seven different saturated fatty acids in total. Its only monounsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid while its only polyunsaturated fatty acid is linoleic acid.[1] Among the most stable of all vegetable oils, coconut oil is slow to oxidize and thus resistant to rancidity. Unrefined coconut oil melts at 20-25°C and smokes at 170°C (350°F).[2], while refined coconut oil has a higher smoke point of 232°C (450°F).
However, keep up the good work Rick
