You probably know that soaked fats are bad fats that can start all kinds of spirit allied diseases. Did you know that and the humble coconut oil has 92% drenched fats? Then why is it that there are many advocates of taking coconut oil as a fitness supplement ? Isn't that contradictory?

Supporters of virgin coconut oil bicker that coconut oil helps them to enhance skin provision, have more energy and even to fail authority. Huh? Consuming soaked fats to fail authority? How is that possible?

These advocates hail the virgin coconut oil as one of the newest new nutritional supplement to hit the fitness and food business in days. The logic flies against conventional wisdom, isn't it?

Saturating fat and there are plethora of it in coconut oil has been the heavy for feeling diseases. When hydrogenated vegetable fat (trans fat) was invented like in butter, it was supposed to exchange unhealthy inundated fat like in butter and was thought to be a healthier form of fat only awaiting it was discovered in the last few years that trans fat is more hazardous to your feeling fitness than drenched fat.

It is with this view the proponents of coconut fats is now arguing that not all forms of soaked fat may be bad and the coconut oil maybe of them. Dr. Bruce Fife, a US based naturopath and origin of "The Coconut Oil Miracle" remarked during a compel conference in Singapore last month, "Not all inundated oily acids act in the same way. The fat in coconut oil is different from most other fats and has many fitness giving properties."

He extra added that, "The Lauric acid (I coconut oil) boosts exception, has antioxidant properties and is being investigated in reducing viral load in HIV patients. You should also take into account the quantity of the carbon series in the greasy acid. Most of the oils and fat we consume are long-shackle fatty acids. Coconut oiled is the richest basis of method-franchise fatty acids, which actually work very differently from the long-string versions."

"Medium-shackle fatty acids in coconut oil boost the body's metabolic cost and promote power defeat. They are dejected down immediately in the liver to construct energy and are not stored as fat," he added.

So is the consumption of coconut fats good or bad for wellbeing? It's very controversial isn't it?

Let's hear it from another expert Dr Annie Leong, deputy executive of the nutrition department at the Health Promotion Board. "There is not enough mark to determine that middling-series saturated fats can degrade center imperil."

Nutritionist Anna Jacob argued that, "Kerala is the coconut capital of India and it also has the peak duty of middle disease. While it is possible to maintain the Indians are genetically predisposed to middle disease, but a diet high in saturated fat as well could enhance that attempt."

My distrust is that since Indians are more prone to empathy disease, then the high rates of sympathy disease should be multiplied evenly throughout India and not just in Kerala, don't you think so? Therefore, I am still a little skeptical.

So who is right and who is crime? So is coconut oil saturated fat good or bad for your empathy shape? Well, the jury is still out there as far as I am alarmed. I for one will make a conscious attempt to avert consuming coconut oil too regularly until the coconut contest is more conclusive with empirical sign that the coconut oil is good for center health.
