On June 16, 2017 , Ashley May from USA Today wrote an article regarding the health concerns related to the Coconut Oil that we really think you should have a look at. Here’s an excerpt:
The Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease advisory reviewed existing data on saturated fat, showing coconut oil increased LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in seven out of seven controlled trials. Researchers didn’t see a difference between coconut oil and other oils high in saturated fat, like butter, beef fat and palm oil. In fact, 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated, according to the data — far beyond butter (63%), beef fat (50%) and pork lard (39%).
It is a really interesting article that shed light onto this particularly understated issue. To see the full story visit the original article at usatoday.com
