Did you know....Coconut Oil Can Improve Blood Cholesterol Levels and May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease Coconut oil is loaded with saturated fats, which actually do not harm the blood lipid profile like previously thought. In one study in 40 women, coconut oil reduced Total and LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL compared to soybean oil. There are also studies showing that coconut oil reduces triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol, increases HDL and improves blood coagulation factors and antioxidant status. This improvement in cardiovascular risk factors should theoretically lead to a reduced risk of heart disease over the long term. Phew - thats a lot to take in!
