Is coconut oil good for cholesterol?




whitesilk


I have read much about coconut being good for fighting heart disease but doesn't mention cholesterol specifically. Can they be beneficial or worsen cholesterol problem?


Answer
Coconut oil is VERY good for your health.

The Tokeluans of the Pacific Islands walk around with cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dl - 300 mg/dl and have virtually NO CHD.


FORGET cholesterol. Know your fasting blood sugar. THIS actually CAUSES CHD NOT cholesterol at all.


The low saturated fat diet does NOT lower mycardial infarctiosn CHD mortality OR total mortality.


AVOID polyunsaturated vegetable oils . Avoid UNsaturated fats . Canola , soy, corn ALL BAD. All of these oils have been found to INCREASE CHD in CLINICAL intervention trials . Saturated fat has NOT.

COCONUT ND HEALTHY SATURATED ANIMAL FAT ARE GOOD


P.S. Did you know that out of the small amount of fats that comprise an atheroma, 80 PERCENT IS UNsaturated fat?


That's right , the saturated fat our "trusted guardians and " health authorities" claim to be bad accounts for ONLY 20 % of it

Again 80 percent of the fats are UNsaturated fats

(10 points!!) coconut oil ?!?!?

Answer
The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength.

Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shiny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.

Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight.
