-Carbohydrate and protein have higher thermogenicity. MCTs are only better than other lipids.

-Unless your diet is 100% mcts (which will cause acidosis and death), other sources of calories will be displaced and stored as fat during a surplus.

-Lauric acid is unselectively antibacterial and promotes dysbiosis.

-Lterally any fruit or vegetable has higher antioxidant content than coconut oil.

-They're not heart or brain healthy:

-Traditional populations are almost always superior to westerners because they are much less fat. A drinker is better off than a smoker+drinker, but both are undesirable.

So are you saying that it's better to get your fats from stuff like olive oil, macadamia nut, fish oil, etc.? Any recommendations, or a list, of the most healthy fats? I'm eager to learn, I don't know enough about fat nutrition.... except for saturated vs. monounsaturated, but that's old news.
