Question: Is extra virgin coconut oil loaded with good or bad saturated fat!?
Answers:
Researchers have increasingly revisited the health benefits of coconut oil!. The findings have associated it with many healthful benefits starting with weight loss due to the medium length of the fatty acid chains (aka MCT's)!. Though it is considered a saturated fat, coconut oil is a different structure from the notorious saturated animal fats, and even offers benefits not available in the longer chained plant oils!.

The medium length of the coconut's fatty acid chain enables rapid breakdown in digestion as well as ease of use when burned for energy!. These same MCT's, along with monoglycerides, are found primarily in coconut oil and breast milk and contribute toward well-being, which includes a role in thyroid health!. It has tested well in helping prevent hypothyroidism due to its evasion of rancidity!.

Studies show that rancidity is harmful to the thyroid as well as many cells throughout the body!. (The plant oils used by mainstream food manufacturers have a high propensity toward rancidity and must be processed through hydrogenation into trans-fatty acids!.)

So to sum up, coconut oil is loaded with good saturated fats that your body needs and your brain is made of!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
