"Coconut oil is richer than butter in medium-chain fatty acids, which the body absorbs directly from the small intestine for quick energy.

"Coconut oil - and whole coconut products that contain coconut oil - are nature's best source of lauric acid, an essential saturated fatty acid that enhances the immune system and protects us against viruses, yeasts, parasites and other pathogens in the gut."

-Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions
