I don't know about this from a chelation standpoint, but I have to second what Bex said about the health benefits of coconut oil. It's full of good-for-you things and stays stable at a high heat, so is excellent for cooking and frying. My daughter and I were rubbing it into our skin during our recent trip to Denver, where the air is very dry, and it worked well. I even put a little into my hair to keep it soft and springy and prevent it from getting dry and frizzy. It isn't cheap but I'm going to make sure I always keep some around from now on, even if I can't afford to cook with it every day. Dr. Mercola (www.mercola.com) thinks it's one of the best fats you can eat (probably second only to fish oil). Make sure you get the organic virgin kind that's been processed as naturally as possible, with no additives.
