Coconut oil has a neutral effecton blood cholesterol, even in situations where coconut oil is the sole sourceof fat” (George Blackburn M.D., Harvard Medical School). There are two types ofsaturated fats which are MFCA (Medium Chain Fatty Acids) and LCFA (Long ChainFatty Acids).

Coconut oil is composed mostly ofMCFA, so it does not raise blood cholesterol nor increases the risk ofcontracting heart disease.
