Coconut Oil
by Vitabase
Beginning several decades ago saturated fats received extensive bad publicity and their use declined until today very few people know about the potential health benefits of including coconut oil in their diet.
Research now shows the body needs some saturated fat for optimum health and virgin coconut oil is a good source since it contains easily digestible medium chain triglycerides (MCT). These MCT have been shown to increase metabolism and stimulate the thyroid which can result in weight loss.
Coconut oil can also have a positive impact on cholesterol levels. Research shows using coconut oil in place of many other cooking oils can result in better HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio. A review of studies conducted on people whose diets were high in coconut and coconut oil concluded that coconut oil does not lead to increased serum cholesterol or increased risk of death due to coronary heart disease.
