Natural Sports Nutrition No Brainers Coconut Oil – Part 3

With all food products which have health benefits, it easy to think ‘why believe all the hype’? And I still don’t believe it’s good for you! Well here’s a list of things coconut oil definitely does not do;

• Coconut oil contains no cholesterol so it does not increase blood serum cholesterol level.
• It does not promote platelet stickiness, which leads to blood clot formation.
• It does not contribute to atherosclerosis or heart disease.
• It does not promote cancer or any other degenerative disease.
• It does not contribute to weight problems.
• Does not create cell damaging free radicals like other vegetable oils and is stable at cooking temperatures

So we can see that it is not associated with the same stigma as other saturated fats! What about the good things it can do?
