Coconut oil – bad for LDL cholesterol!
Can I have coconut oil?
Long-chain saturated fatty acids, like the ones that make up most of the saturated fat in coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils (known as tropical oils), do in fact raise LDL cholesterol considerably. These saturated fats are called palmitic, myristic, and lauric acids. They also make up most of the saturated fatty acids in meat, poultry, and dairy fats like milk, butter, and cheese. SOOOOOO The Fairy Food Mother suggests if you have elevated LDL (the bad cholesterol).....STAY AWAY FROM THIS FAT!!!!!!!! #keepyourarteriesclean.
