Too much controversy over the humble coconut.
The doctors say it contains too much saturated fat. It is your cholesterol levels worse.
But new studies show that all saturated fats are the same. The main fat in lauric acid in coconut oil. Lauric acid is known to increase a level of good HDL (good) cholesterol in the body and that of LDL (bad cholesterol). But this does not mean the ratio of cholesterol in the body too upset.
Lauric acid is actually anti-viral, antibacterial and antifungal. It can also help strengthen the immune system.
As it is in the moderation of this oil good for you.
The coconut oil and coconut milk was very badly on the regime as a watchdog for the health because of fear of saturated fat and cholesterol factor. Many observers have avoided health very precisely.
Today, the news is different and better.
In fact, it was discovered that saturated fat is so special, that the body quickly turns into energy instead of storing it as fat. And can therefore help you lose weight!
Most of the bad reputation that milk and coconut oil is received, because of biased research studies. The studies described as very bad for the overall health and to do, especially for heart health, with coconut oil partially hydrogenated. Partially hydrogenated fats to create any type of trans fat. It destroys all the positive elements in the oil of any kind (and that includes coconut oil).
It is true that these fatty acids are found in oil, but it is now by the scientific community and the FDA that they are necessary to our daily diet and no more than 10 percent of total daily calories from saturated fatty acids are closed. For a plan of 1500 calories, which represents about 15 grams.
