It is very easy to absorb, is low calorie (relative to mostly long
chain fatty acid TGs), and is an excellent energy source. That said,
there is no reason to avoid the major naturally-occurring source of it,
coconut oil, rather than buy a processed product. With coconut oil, if
it smells and tastes fresh, then it's good - no need to worry about it
like one has to do with olive oil, which can be a mixture of low grade
and high grade sold as the top quality stuff (though organic, purple
olives are fine).
