When we eat a fat like butter or coconut oil that is in the triglyceride form and our digestive system is very well equipped to handle quite a bit of that natural triglyceride fat and it breaks the particles up into tiny chylomicron particles and those will pass into the lymphatic system. The chylomicrons are formed only when you have the right amount of the right type of triglycerides and if you put other emulsifying things or very abnormal lipids it can disrupt our ability to make chylomicrons and since the chylomicrons are a major pathway for absorbing vitamins A, K, D and E, if you disturb the chylomicrons for too long then you can get deficient in the fatty vitamins.
