Coconut Oil: Superfood or Silent Killer?

Is coconut oil clogging your arteries, or could it actually reduce your risk of heart disease? Coconut oil is unique—it’s plant-based, often seen as heart-healthy, yet rich in saturated fat, which has long been blamed for heart disease. So, which is it? In this video, we break down a new study from Dr. Mary Newport analyzing 26 studies and nearly 1,000 lipid profiles, challenging the conventional wisdom that foods rich in saturated fat are detrimental to heart health. 🔬 In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ How coconut oil affects cholesterol levels (total, LDL, and HDL) ✅ Why triglyceride-to-HDL ratio is a key heart health marker ✅ The difference between medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids ✅ Why dietary fat shouldn’t be judged in isolation 📌 Key Takeaways: ✔ Coconut oil/Saturated Fat doesn’t consistently raise LDL cholesterol as commonly believed ✔ It increases HDL ("good cholesterol") and lowers triglycerides ✔ Medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil have unique metabolic benefits ✔ Context matters—your overall diet influences how your body processes fats Resources Mentioned: Analysis of 26 Studies of the Impact of Coconut Oil on Lipid Parameters: Beyond Total and LDL Cholesterol https://doi.org/10.3390/nu17030514 CMEs Mentioned: Managing Major Mental Illness with Dietary Change: The New Science of Hope https://www.mycme.com/courses/managin...
