p>Ostracized by the medical community for its saturated fat content, it seems that coconut oil might finally be making a comeback in the mainstream health community.Coconut oil is the most nutrient dense part of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature like butter. It does not break down in heat or light and become rancid like many oils. Coconut oil is over 90% saturated fat and has antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties.Coconut oil also has antioxidant properties and it helps in the absorption of other minerals and vitamins.Coconut Oil is an incredible source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which have been shown to have many health benefits.It is a wonderful way to increase the amount of healthy fats in the diet, and is helpful in the assimilation of the fat soluble vitamins A,D, E and K.Even if you still avoid/limit saturated fats, the fact that coconut oil contains lauric acid makes it very beneficial to the body.
