Coconut oil is promoted as "the only oil" to use and I see no reason why that is true. Palm oil [I lived in the Nigerian palm oil area] I understand is full saturated. I use butter and olive. I rarely fry food but use peanut oil for its high temperature.

Hey Ken - why no virgin coconut oil or palm oil? Is that a sustainability question or a health question? I understand about the habitate issues with plantations and such. Are you talking palm kernal or palm fruit oil? Palm fruit oil is very healthy.
