Priya Tew, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, says: “Coconut oil is a high saturated fat. Fat is made up of smaller molecules called fatty acids, and there are several types of saturated fatty acids in coconut oil. Coconut oil was demonized in the past because it is high in saturated fat. While some research shows coconut oil contains higher amounts of saturated fat and does increase total cholesterol, those amounts do not increase our heart attack or stroke risk. Coconut oil is fat that comes from pressing coconut meat or dried coconut meat (copra). This gives it a firm texture at cold or room temperatures. But new studies actually suggest that it has several health benefits, and is a very good oil for cooking at high heat. Coconut oil can contain up to 40 percent saturated fat, yet interestingly, countries with the highest intakes of coconut oil have the lowest rates of heart disease. Coconut oil is 100% fat, 80-90% of which is saturated fat. It’s about 92% saturated fat – so more than lard or butter. This gives it a firm texture at cold or room temperatures.
