Virgin coconut oil as the main fat source in a diet of 60% fructose, 20% protein, 10% fat maintains redox status and markedly improves glucose metabolism 
When animals are fed the same diet but with copra oil instead, they develop insulin resistance and advanced fatty liver.
Both oils are composed of over 90% of the beneficial MCTs, so the 2-fold higher antioxidant polyphenols in virgin coconut oil seem to make the difference.

60% fructose + 10% fat as copra oil led to a 46% blood sugar increase and higher oxidative stress
60% fructose + 10% fat as virgin coconut oil only raised blood glucose by 16%, significantly increased glutathione and antioxidant enzymes, and reduced lipid peroxidation.

2/ DISCLAIMER: Yes, I usually avoid the diet debate, but I'll concede up front that I'm certainly pro-awareness of diet choices. I think it's unfortunate so few people know about #PlantBasedKeto if indeed they want to be both #Keto and #PlantBased, yet are unaware it is possible.
3/ Not saying I know it is definitely better or worse, or in what ways as we don't have long term data. But I do know people on it who -- for them -- it was the perfect match they were looking for, but genuinely didn't know it existed.
Now... on to the podcast...
