Coconut oil, red meat, and butter—these fats are traditionally considered harmful, but this powerful book, based on more than two decades of research, shows that these saturated fats are actually essential to weight loss and health.

If that sounds high to you, consider this: in a 1999 review of the data published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Canadian researchers concluded that the dose should actually be 4000 IU per day.
