Coconut oil does not promote weight gain...quite the contrary, actually...it promotes metabolism and weight loss. Coconut oil has been in recent years downplayed and sometimes outright 'demonized' but its benefits have not changed. There has been 'confusion' introduced surrounding saturated fats, which I will not attempt to explain here, but "saturation" relates to molecular attributes specifically and is not synonymous with "unhealthy" by any means.
You can buy coconut oil lots of places these days...just make sure you get 100% virgin organic coconut oil.
