Per the article coconut oil has more saturated fats than lard. Jeez people, read the article.

But there seems to be some disagreement in the nutritional community on whether saturated fats are good for you or not.
It doesn't help that coconut oil legitimately has anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that probably make it a benefit to foods that its added to, despite its possibly harmful lipid profile.

Perhaps that's the nuance that is missing in this debate that's needed. The shocker that foods can be simultaneously good and bad for you...
