The merit of having high omega 3/omega 6 ration has been well expounded by our resident adviser, R.B. As to the use of coconut oil, I am very much against it because of its high melting point. As a yardstick in judging the suitability of any oil/fat for body consumption, we should always stay away from those that are solid at room temperature. Higher melting fats creat more solid deposit in our veins. While it is true that saturated fats are more oxidation resistant, the other properties of coconut are just too horrible.
