Was it the coconut-oil industry that sponsored the study? It's very possible because who else would care?
One study compared coconut oil with soybean oil. Why soybean oil? Maybe because coconut oil would be sure to look better by comparison.
One study said that coconut oil helps to make one feel fuller for a longer period of time. That sounds like total nonsense because it's the job of fiber to make one feel full and oils do not contain fiber.
If coconut oil is recommended for frying, why should anyone be frying if they're concerned with belly-fat or health in general?
The whole thing sounded like a coconut oil advertisement.

The studies were not funded by the coconut-oil industry.
