Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I did a search on Google to try and find out health benefits of coconut oil.... below was something I found>>>>>>>>>>>>> Coconut oil is high (above 50%) in lauric acid, a saturated fatty acid which does NOT raise your cholesterol or clog your arteries. Countries where coconut oil is a mainstay incedently have no heart disease, diabetes, or strokes. The oils you really should be concerned with are refined, hydrogenated, and adulterated oils which are touted as healthy because they're 100% " vegetable " oil, but they're not ~from everything I have been reading I understand that coconut oil is really really good for you however, I am wondering at what point does it become detrimental?? At what point does a good thing become bad in as far as saturated fats, clogging arteries etc etc I realize coconut oil is beneficial but what is therapeutic amounts? There is limit right.. can't just eat like candy?? I'm thinking 1 or 2 tablespoons a day max? What does everyone think about this issue? Do alot of people in this group eat coconut oil coconut butter? How much? Does anyone have links for me more on this subject? thanks jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
