(Editor\u2019s note: Here on What\u2019s Good we\u2019ve published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/29\/coconut-oil-beauty-health-uses\/\">12 Health And Beauty Uses For Coconut Oil<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/23\/how-to-eat-coconut-oil\/\">8 Simple Ways To Add Coconut To Your Diet.<\/a> Clearly, we\u2019re believers!) Recently, however, coconut oil has faced some negative press, with some articles saying it increases LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol and may contribute to weight gain, since it\u2019s a source of saturated fat.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s explore the facts\u2014and get to the bottom of this debate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>MCTs &amp; Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Coconut oil contains a unique composition of healthy fatty acids\u2014particularly fatty acids called medium chain triglycerides. (Heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/16\/why-is-everyone-talking-about-mcts\/\">MCT oil<\/a>? That\u2019s this.)<\/p>\n<p>MCTs have been shown to boost metabolism and support weight management. But there\u2019s a catch: These beneficial effects come from oils containing 100 percent medium chain triglycerides. Not all products contain that much, so it\u2019s important to read labels if you\u2019re looking for those particular perks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=coconut%2Boil\"><strong>Shop a variety of coconut oil products.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Consuming MCTs from coconut oil has also been shown to reduce your appetite, which can lead to less calorie consumption.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get the heathiest bang for your buck with coconut oil when you cook with it, as it\u2019s highly stable at extremely high temperatures, which means it is less likely to break down and produce free radicals during cooking as compared to other oils (like olive oil).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Saturated Fat &amp; Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Coconut oil is filled with saturated fat (in fact, 90 percent of its calories come from it), which is why it can sometimes get a bad rep. However, new research from the <a href=\"http:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2017\/03\/31\/bjsports-2016-097285\"><em>British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em><\/a> shows that the association between saturated fat intake and heart disease is much lower (or even entirely lacking) than previously thought.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you should go head-over-heels with the stuff, though. Over-consumption of coconut oil can lead to excessive calorie intake that negates the beneficial boost in metabolism.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lauric Acid &amp; Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Coconut oil is also one of the richest dietary sources of lauric acid, an MCT that has been suggested to promote cognition and healthy brain function, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2671041\/\"><em>Diabetes<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> MCTs go directly to the liver from the digestive tract, where they are used as a quick energy source or converted into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/13\/ketogenic-diet\/\">ketones<\/a> (substances that break down fat for energy), which have been shown to exert therapeutic effects on brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer\u2019s Disease.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Oral Health &amp; Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another popular use for coconut oil? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/14\/i-tried-oil-pulling\/\">Oil pulling<\/a> (a.k.a. swishing oil in your mouth for upwards of 20 minutes), which can kill some harmful bacteria in the mouth, improving dental health and reducing bad breath. More and more people are trying it as they look for natural alternatives to mouthwash.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Bottom Line: Moderation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Studies suggest that coconut oil is generally healthy. Just know that spooning it onto everything you eat won\u2019t help you meet your health goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/14\/i-tried-oil-pulling\/https:\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/2017\/06\/14\/i-tried-oil-pulling\/\">I Tried Oil Pulling For Two Weeks\u2014Here\u2019s What It\u2019s Like<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb: Limit your saturated fat intake to less than 10 percent of your daily calorie intakes. For most individuals, that\u2019s about 200 calories or a little less than two tablespoons of coconut oil per day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drtaylorwallace.com.\">Taylor Wallace<\/a> <\/strong>holds a PhD in Food Science and Nutrition from The Ohio State University.\u00a0 He is a Certified Food Scientist and Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.
