Cooking Oil
Might want to give this a read ... source "But I keep reading that coconut oil is a ‘good fat’ Coconut oil is made by pressing either dried or fresh coconut meat. Oil from fresh coconut is called virgin and oil from dried coconut (also called copra) is called refined, although the terms are not regulated. Coconut oil contains no cholesterol, tiny traces of vitamins and minerals and no fiber at all. It does contain traces of beneficial plant sterols, which may help block the absorption of cholesterol in the body, but the amount found in a typical serving of coconut oil is too small to be healthful. Also, many of the health claims you’ve likely seen for coconut oil refer to research that used a special formulation of coconut oil made of 100% medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), not the commercial coconut oil most available on supermarket shelves. MCTs have a shorter chemical structure than other types of fats, and so are absorbed and used by the body rather rapidly. After digestion, MCTs make their way to the liver where they are quickly used for energy. The theory is that this quickly absorbed form promotes satiety and prevents fat storage. The clinker in that theory? Coconut oil contains mostly lauric acid, which is not an MCT. Lauric acid is absorbed more slowly and metabolized like other long-chain fatty acids. This means that the often-touted health benefits reported from a specially constructed MCT coconut oil that contains medium-chain triglycerides other than lauric acid cannot be applied directly to commercial coconut oils that are easily found in most grocery stores. It gets worse. R.B.D. (refined, bleached and deodorized) coconut oil, which has been doused with chemicals and solvents before being subjected to high heat, raises cholesterol so quickly, brilliantly and consistently that scientists have used it as a control when experimenting with other fats. The harsh processing may destroy some of the good essential fatty acids and antioxidants. All of that said, using coconut oil in moderation can be part of a healthy diet. And there are many fine uses for coconut oil that do not involve eating it. Some of the many uses for coconut oil include the following. Cooking. Coconut oil is terrific for sautéing, searing and even frying (depending on the grade). Be aware, though, that a tablespoon of coconut oil contains about six times the amount of saturated fat as olive oil." -

The only people who can really confirm this for you are the people working at desk number 10 at Jomtien Immigration. Go and ask them yourself to get a definite answer from the source. -

Trump’s Justice Department: Fear and Fallout as Revenge Prosecutions Loom
You're right about the rule of law and its ability to make America a great place over time. I think you misunderstand Trump, though. If anything, I think Trump and his cabinet want to restore the rule of law. Unfortunately for him, he seems to be up against some of the most evil criminals the world has ever known. And they aren't going to just give up and go away quietly. So he might not achieve much in his remaining term.
