    What to know about coconut oil claims

    Coconut oil is 90% saturated fat, which raises cholesterol and heart disease risk, according to Mayo Clinic experts. Studies in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation confirm these risks, and the oil does not aid in blood sugar control, weight loss, or inflammation reduction. Despite 72% of Americans believing it's healthy, experts advise against using it as a primary fat source.

    What to know about coconut oil claims

    Mayo Clinic experts state coconut oil, which is 90% saturated fat, does not boost health and raises cholesterol levels, increasing heart disease risk. Studies show it does not regulate blood sugar, aid weight loss, or reduce inflammation. Dr. Stephen Kopecky recommends alternatives like extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil instead of coconut oil.
