“…There are only epidemiological data and small short-term interventions with the coconut oil and its association with CAD 16, 17, 18. Previous work from our institution showed that there were no differences in lipid profile (serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol in lipoprotein fractions) between persons taking coconut oil or sunflower oil 19 . Higher intake of coconut oil did not cause any significant increase in the concentration of lauric acid in blood among coconut oil consumers.…”

“…Sabitha et al 26 conducted a cross-sectional study in 140 middle-aged Indian men with and without type 2 diabetes who self-reported typically consuming coconut oil or sunflower oil as 13% to 20% of their total energy intake over the past 6 years. Lipid profiles and oxidative stress parameters were compared between the groups and did not show any statistically significant differences between coconut oil and sunflower oil.…”

Coconut oil consumption and cardiovascular risk factors in humans

Coconut oil is being heavily promoted as a healthy oil, with benefits that include support of heart health. To assess the merits of this claim, the literature on the effect of coconut consumption on cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes in humans was reviewed. Twenty-one research papers were identified for inclusion in the review: 8 clinical trials and 13 observational studies. The majority examined the effect of coconut oil or coconut products on serum lipid profiles. Coconut oil generally raised total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to a greater extent than cis unsaturated plant oils, but to a lesser extent than butter. The effect of coconut consumption on the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was often not examined. Observational evidence suggests that consumption of coconut flesh or squeezed coconut in the context of traditional dietary patterns does not lead to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, due to large differences in dietary and lifestyle patterns, these findings cannot be applied to a typical Western diet. Overall, the weight of the evidence from intervention studies to date suggests that replacing coconut oil with cis unsaturated fats would alter blood lipid profiles in a manner consistent with a reduction in risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

“…Coconut oil contains approximately 90% saturated fats. Saturated fats are known to contribute to coronary artery disease (CAD) [15]. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids such as lauric (C-12), caprylic (C-10) and myristic (C-14) acids.…”
