Coconut Oil as Saturated Fat


Another reason people believe coconut oil must be bad for you is misguided association: it is a saturated fat and ';saturated fats are bad for you.'; Dietary guidelines inevitably fail to distinguish between different kinds of saturated fats and insist that saturated fats (meaning all saturated fats) are harmful.





This is not just misleading. It is bad science. Leading scientists now recognize that just as there is good cholesterol, there are also good saturated fats.





Fats are classified as short-, medium- or long-chain based on the number of carbon molecules they contain. Nearly two-thirds of the saturated fat in coconut oil consists of medium-chain fatty acids.





When we eat long-chain fatty acids, they must be emulsified by bile salts in the small intestine before they can be absorbed into our body. Short- and medium-chain fatty acids, such as those in coconut milk, are absorbed directly through the portal vein to the liver, where they are immediately available to the body.





In other words, most of the saturated fat in coconut oil is easily digestible and converted into quick energy. And these types of fatty acids are less likely to cause obesity because they are immediately used by the body and have no opportunity to be stored.Does anyone have experience of using coconut oil in your cooking?
I bought some because it is supposed to help you lose weight and was putting some in my tea. Later I decided to use it as part of the shortening in my raisin oatmeal cookies. I've been told that some people use it to fry their eggs and things like that, but it imparts a nice additional flavor to my oatmeal cookies. Seems like it might be good to use in a stir fry or something like that.
