[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can it be a "healthy" oil? It's 86% saturated fat, which is probably why it hardens just like animal fat does.[/quote] Heart Diseases: There is a misconception spread among many people that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as it happens in case of other vegetables oils. It does not lead to increase in LDL levels. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mercola/coconut-oil-benefits_b_821453.html http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/19/how-good-is-coconut-oil-for-you/[/quote]
