Coconut oil is a healthy, naturally saturated vegetable product. Unhydrogenated coconut oil contains “good” fat - 50% Lauric Acid. It is made up mostly of medium chain fatty acids, which the body metabolizes efficiently and converts into energy, rather than storing as fat. Coconut oil does not elevate your “bad” cholesterol level (LDL), and is slightly lower in calories than most vegetable oils.
