sugar does not equal fat. All the other food u eat is broken down into energy in a complicated process but when faced with pure energy in the form of sugar it uses the sugar FIRST then converts all the exess food u don't require anymore but ate ANYWAY into FAT. But i digress.
Coconuts aren't fattening:they're delicious.

It's actually quite fatty. The oil in them (like palm oil) is the only other vegetative oil that has a high percentage of saturated fat (like butter or other animal fats). So indulge in it sometime, but I wouldn't have it all the time if you're watching your weight or sat. fat.
The other answerers obviously don't know. Here's proof:

Hope that helps.
