In this short video, I want to explain whether or not consuming coconut oil will raise your cholesterol. Yes, coconut oil could raise your cholesterol. But, who cares?

There is no research that shows any negative aspects of consuming coconut oil on your heart. There is no data that shows that even if your cholesterol goes up from consuming coconut oil, that you’re going to have a higher risk of a heart problem.

There is fat in coconut oil, and it may temporarily increase your cholesterol. But, it’s not about the total cholesterol. It’s about the LDL. This is known as “bad cholesterol.”

There are two types of LDL:

1. Small dense particles
2. Large buoyant particles

Small dense particles can cause problems. What determines whether or not you have these small dense particles, doesn’t have to do with coconut oil, cholesterol, or fat. It has to do with carbs. If your carbs are high, you’ll have the small dense type of LDL. If you go low carb, you may have high LDL, but it will be the large buoyant type.

A simple test you can do is called an advanced lipid profile test, which can determine what type of LDL you have.

Coconut oil has medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil). This will typically cause your triglycerides to go down, your HDL to go up, and your insulin to go down.

South Asian and some East Asian cultures - India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc, - have been consuming copious amounts of coconut oil for centuries. It has only been in the past few decades, when seed oils (soy, cotton, corn, canola oil, etc) large amounts of sugar and white flour came from the West did those countries start to have an epidemic of diabetes. So I don't fear coconut oil, or really any fat that his been in wide use before the industrial revolution. The fats/oils we should eschew are the ones that were introduced to the human diet during or after the industrial revolution. When these novel fats/oils were introduced to the wider population in a form (i.e. hydrogenated) that is foreign to our bodies, that is when our health problems started to occur.

South Indian people primarily cook their food with coconut oil daily and they are one of the most healthiest people in India.

Unfortunately, your course seems to be on Facebook, and I don't have anything to do with Facebook or Twitter. However, I'll just keep viewing your videos on YouTube for as long as they last.

Coconut oil was and is the best oil in the diet. All the confusions came bcoz of the refined oils.

[SharkFishSF]

Thank god my country has lots of it and our people make the oil at wood pressed STP less than 4-5 rpm. The purest form of coconut oil in the world.
