Jury is out on
Hi
Two guys are talking about saturated fats.
One asks another: How about coconut?
The other one replies: Coconut is high in saturated fat. I think the jury is out on coconut. I haven't seen enough good evidence either way.
--- Does by saying "I think the jury is out on coconut" he mean that it's not sure whether they are high in saturated or unsaturated fat or maybe he talks about coconuts in general. That little is known about them and there is not enough evidence to say what they are high in?

It means that it is still not known whether coconut is healthy or not. Scientists are still not sure (they are still undecided about the benefits of coconut). "the jury is out" is a figure of speech in this case.
