BizVibe Examines the Science Behind Coconut Oil Benefits and Coconut Oil's Impact on Health
The American Heart Association's recent announcement that coconut oil
may be as unhealthy as beef fat and butter, has caused much commotion in
both the food and beverage and health and fitness industries. Widely
thought of as a superfood, coconut oil is a popular alternative to dairy
and cooking oils, including olive oil and vegetable oil. The AHA's
findings have the potential to substantially reduce the use of coconut
oil in the US, and can change the reputation that any coconut oil
benefits have amongst healthy eaters and nutritional experts.

In a recent article titled Coconut
Oil Benefits: Do They Really Exist?, BizVibe
analyzes the AHA's findings and the effects that coconut oil can
actually have on human health, and whther or not many purported coconut
oil benefits actually exist.
According to BizVibe, coconut oil's reputation as a superfood is largely
undeserved: though coconut oil benefits do exist, they are derived from
using the oil externally, not consuming it. This is due to the large
amount of saturated fat that coconut oil contains. Says BizVibe, "The
AHA's assertion is largely due to the high amount of saturated fat that
coconut oil contains. Coconut oil is over 80% saturated fat, which is a
greater percentage than butter or lard … Since coconut oil is so high in
saturated fat, high intake could lead to increased risk of heart
disease, heart attack, and overall poor health."
However, they note that moderate consumption of coconut oil is likely
fine and will not significantly impact health so long as your
consumption of saturated fat does not exceed 6% of your daily calorie
intake.
