Coconut Oil Can Improve Blood Cholesterol Levels and May Lower Your Risk of Heart DiseaseCracked CoconutCoconut oil is loaded with saturated fats, which actually do not harm the blood lipid profile like previously thought.Saturated fats raise HDL (the good) cholesterol and change the LDL cholesterol to a benign subtype (17, 18).In one study in 40 women, coconut oil reduced Total and LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL compared to soybean oil (19).There are also rat studies showing that coconut oil reduces triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol, increases HDL and improves blood coagulation factors and antioxidant status (20, 21).This improvement in cardiovascular risk factors should theoretically lead to a reduced risk of heart disease over the long term.</blockquote>
