Coconut oil is recovering from some bad press. Many thought because coconut oil is high in saturated fats that it should be avoided. But coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid that is different from other saturated fatty acids. Coconut oil is a heart healthy fat that helps with weight control, fights infection, provides thyroid support, fights cancer, is anti-inflammatory, controls cholesterol, and promotes healthy skin.

Because it is highly saturated, coconut oil is very stable, stores well, and is suitable for cooking.
