Can Coconut aid weight loss?

[Alan360]

I've just read something in a link on twitter about this and I was wondering if anybody had any info? I always thought there was a lot of Cholesterol in Coco nut milk?

I've just googled it - worth a look, there are conflicting ideas from different people.

You can buy Vita Coconut Water in cartons which is low fat and yummy!

It's coconut oil that can/may aid in weight loss. It's the most highly saturated fat-but is made up of medium chain triglycerides. Supposedly, it's metabolised differently from other fats as it never reaches the liver. It raises HDL (good) cholesterol,and is said to also raise metabolism.
