Yes, vegan idiot, it does. Many tropical oils are naturally saturated,
including cocoa butter.

A little bit won't hurt you, Calamity Jane. Enjoy your food before it
enjoys you.

Quotes from http://health.discovery.com/encyclopedias/1935.html :-

"Small amounts of saturated fat are not harmful, but too much can increase
blood cholesterol levels in some people."
"Some vegetable foods are also high in saturated fat. These include coconut,
cocoa butter, palm oil, and tropical oil."

Everything in moderation Deborah I guess! Actually I have noticed that the
soft margarine I buy here in the UK, called "Pure" which is dairy free,
contains a large amount of palm oil in it.
