Rowena, just to add a link to your message, here is a free book on line by Mary Enig PhD on fats which she studied for over 30 years. Everything anyone wanted to know about fats. This link is taken from that group.
http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny.html Barbara For a web search VCNO, Bruce Fife, Mary Enig, would be good search strings for a start. Or, if you like, I could send you some of my saved documents which are configured in such a way as to use the least amount of paper if printed. There are just so many good things to say about VCNO - and apparently, even solidified copra-derived coconut oil, with all its faults, would have been safer for the world than the multitudinous vegetable oils which pushed it off its perch. For anyone who wants a VCNO forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coconut_oil_open_forum Rowena
