I also was a little skeptical about their research because of their obvious promotion of their oil. However i have found many articles on the net that support the findings which on their face do not appear to be connected with the coconut oil industry.
For example:
http://www.benbest.com/health/essfat.html
http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/fats_and_cancer.html
http://www.edmsllc.com/diet.htm
http://www.heall.com/body/healthupda...uratedfat.html

I looked around pubmed for articles, but i cant understand the scientific jargon they are using. There are a bunch of articles listed under unsaturated fat immune as the search key though; a few even look like they say that unsaturated fats do exactly what the above articles say about them.

*edit*
hunted around hawaii statistic information
apparently disease of the heart is listed as their number 1 cause of death for 2002
i wonder what is causing the disease of the heart for them; atherosclerosis was very low for them.
