I was eating coconut oil because I heard it's good for dieting.
I was surfing the Internet and I heard coconut oil is saturated fat.
I heard that saturated fat is not good for you, can I eat it?

Coconut oil is a saturated fatty acid, but it's a medium chain fatty acid, unlike the saturated fat that's usually a problem.
Medium chain fatty acids do not cause vascular problems because they are quickly absorbed and decomposed in the liver and are used as energy immediately.
More than 50% of coconut oil fatty acids are medium chain fatty acids containing laurinic acid.
Medium-chain fatty acids are effective in dieting because their metabolism is fast and calories are easily burned.
