Coconut oil is made up of medium chain fats, which means that your body metabolizes them easily as energy, unlike long chain fats (ie: vegetable oils) which are what your bodies fat stores are cromprised of. Coconut oil has an amazing effect on metabolism, thyroid function and weight loss. I wouldnt be concerned about the calories or fat, if anything it will make your kids healthier.
