i think if i remember correctly it was soemthign to dowithte digestive process rate the coconut oil passed thru body quicker and so didn't helpthe liver to riaaaase bile production or soemthign liek that.. caus ei dodn;t trigger the same liver activity as the otehr oisl do.. iam nto anexpert /but htat seems to be the gisdt of what i recallon teh subject.. the cocnut leaves the body faster and the other oils have to be processed thru the liver longer..
