Dr. Oz"Coconut oil doesn't maintain cholesterol levels for human health" - the attitude of public groupscontrary, public health groups have not shown enthusiasm for coconut oil. For example, the American Heart Association and the British Heart Foundation list coconut oil as a source of saturated fatty acids, and people are concerned about heart health and believe that coconut oil should be reduced.British Heart Association has even explicitly advised those who want to lower blood cholesterol levels to avoid using coconut oil in cooking and not to treat it as a dietary supplement. For coconut cream and dates products, the charity says coconut fat in these products is
60-70%
, so it can only be eaten in small amounts occasionally.addition, the British Heart Association points out that two tablespoons of coconut oil contain
24
grams of saturated fatty acids, higher than the recommended daily recommended amount of
20,
grams of saturated fatty acids recommended by the
NHS
. Nutrition survey data show that in

, the average person in the UK consumed

2014.The debate over coconut oilis always full of controversy about the nutritional topics involved in popular fashion. Dietary experts know how to "sell" their ideas by highlighting the public's cognitive impairments in nutritional science, and as a result, many questionable nutritional recommendations are spreading.at this point, coconut oil still has some stories to tell. Many people remember that coconut oil was once the first choice for cooking in Western Europe because of its high thermal stability and neutral taste. One of the well-known
100%
coconut oil brands is
Palmin
, which has been on sale in the German market for more than a century. In


80s
, the war on saturated fatty acids began, and a growing number of health-focused consumers replaced coconut oil with vegetable oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Some of these vegetable oils are partially hydrogenated in order to maintain a stable viscosity at room temperature. Of course, we now know that trans fatty acids produced by some hydrogenated oils do more harm to the heart than saturated fatty acids, not only by raising "bad"
LDL
sterol levels (as are many saturated fatty acids), but also by reducing the levels of "good"
HDL
sterols (which saturated fatty acids do not). So, ironically, consumers who insist on using coconut oil are wise. should the industry do? , the whole food industry shouldn't be afraid of the coconut trend. We should welcome the introduction of new coconut products as we welcome fresh air. However, also consider choosing "healthy" coconut oil. public health groups remain opposed to consumers turning to coconut oil, and it would be unwise for mainstream products to rush to the forefront of new coconut products, which would end up being seen as a "threat to public health" and die, no matter how many celebrities have publicly supported coconut products. even though there are no health claims, the most important thing for producers right now is to replace the fat in packaged foods with coconut oil. Because reducing saturated fatty acid intake is still a major public health issue in most countries today. source of this article is
