“Numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that coconut oil has a neutral effect on cholesterol levels. The reason coconut oil does not adversely affect cholesterol is because it is composed primarily of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids are different from those commonly found in other food sources and are burned almost immediately for energy production, and so they are not converted into body fat or cholesterol to the degree other fats are and do not affect blood cholesterol levels.” DoeDifferentReasonBodyFoundEnergyLevelsStudyBloodEffectsSourceDegreesProductionsOilFatsMediumsChainsBurnedAcidCoconutsCholesterolFattyBody FatEnergy ProductionFatty Acids Author:Bruce Fife
