Q: A friend who works out recommended virgin coconut oil! The oil that claims not to oxidize! It can also improve immunity and fight free radicals! I want to know its food value, and I’m torn between buying it and not buying it! Coconut oil is not so magical, a lot of business hype up the efficacy of the last century, there was a time when the United States is very popular with coconut oil to lose weight, and then many medical and health associations published that coconut oil is not good for cardiovascular health, only gradually cooled down, recently began to be popular again, probably related to some extreme weight loss diet it, cyclical popularity. Coconut oil has two outstanding features: medium-chain fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. You say that coconut oil will not be oxidized, it means that the fatty acid saturation is high, the same reason, butter lard also has a lot of saturated fatty acids, is solidified into a white solid look, so this is nothing healthy selling point, improve immunity against free radicals is even more nonsense, it is difficult to be oxidized themselves, how can fight free radicals? On the contrary, too much saturated fatty acids, but harmful to cardiovascular health. If the public eats coconut oil, only the pursuit of its flavor is good, coconut flavor is also quite charming. In a word, for the sake of delicious can buy to try, for other “magical health benefits” bill is to pay the IQ tax. See the attached picture for more information.
