Coconut oil does not increase cholesterol level

As contrary to common belief, coconut oil not only does not increase blood cholesterol level, it may actually decrease LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol level.
Below are some facts about coconut oil:
1) Coconut oil consist of 92 percent saturated fats, 6 percent monosaturated fats, 2 percent polyunsaturated fats.
2) Coconut oil contain 64 pecent medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs).
3) When fat is injested, it is usually broken down into individual fatty acids, and recombined with protein to form small bundles of fat called lipoproteins. The lipoprotein will diffuse into the blood stream where the fatty acids are deposited into the fat cells.
4) MCFAs bypass the above step and are sent directly to the liver where they are digested and converted into energy.
5) MCFAs can thus increase rate of metabolism and can even help to encourage the burning of long chain fatty acids.
6) Eating a meal containing coconut oil will elevate your metabolism rate for the next 24 hours.
7) So combining moderate amount of coconut oil diet with exercise will actually cause you to lose weight!
