Unless you eat 1/4 of your body weight in coconut oil this seems to be very irrelevant to human health.

Maybe if my body weight consisted entirely of yeast… that’s the realm of science fiction though.

That’s… Not how concentrations work.
If you eat a spoon of coconut oil the stuff in it won’t magically appear only in the places in your body that are infected, let alone somehow find the yeast cell and cover it in a nice toxic film, all while avoiding being digested in any way. You’re thinking of some pre programmed, intelligent coconut oil or, well, science fiction indeed.
