Stored fat is the result of excess calories, regardless of the source. Fat is used fuel when you're eating a moderate, well balanced diet, so they're not lying but the'yre also not offering you anything unique. That is unless they've included some rarely used oil. ;-)

I looked at their website, http://www.enovaoil.com but I don't understand the science. I'm sticking with my coconut oil.

I took a quick look at this and all I saw was a bunch of gobbledy-gook and pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo. It may have a slightly different molecular structure, but this isn't neccessarily a good thing. I stand by my earlier statement. If Jean's right about their study involving just 12 people I'm even more leery, especially if they've conducted their own study. Small scale studies that have yet to backed up by other unbiased research are not really worth the paper they're printed on. This appears to be one more instance of the somebody trying to cash on the desparation of others.

Frankly I'd be a little worried about trying something that was just fine the way it was that some greedy Gus(s) felt they had to monkey w/ the molecular make-up of for no apparent reason. Mono/poly-unsaturated oils are fine they way they are, you just need to use them in moderation as part of a healthy, well balanced diet. Sat. & trans fats are what we have to watch out for.
