Does Coconut Oil Clog Arteries?

New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/
DESCRIPTION: Sellers of coconut oil use a beef industry tactic to downplay the risks associated with the saturated fat in their products. Here are the two saffron videos I referenced: Saffron for the Treatment of Alzheimer's (nutritionfacts.org/video/saffr...) and Saffron Versus Aricept (nutritionfacts.org/video/saffr.... The spice may also help with PMS (nutritionfacts.org/video/saffr...) and depression (nutritionfacts.org/video/saffr....
Think my water in Coke joke was too over the top? When a corporate exec was asked on the stand (www.mcspotlight.org/case/trial...) if Coca Cola was "nutritious" he said that it is "providing water, and I think that is part of a balanced diet."
More on meat industry hijinks in videos like Meat Mythcrushers (nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-..., Cattlemen's Association Has Beef With Study (nutritionfacts.org/video/cattl..., Unsafe at Any Feed (nutritionfacts.org/video/unsaf..., and my blog post E. coli O145 Ban Opposed by Meat Industry (nutritionfacts.org/2012/06/09/....

    I buy lite thai coconut cream, not oil. It may have some oil in it. It can get thick but it doesn't harden. Its better in your coffee than cow cream and because I cook with water and not oil 1 tablespoon a day doesn't hurt, infact I feel satisfied after my first morning cup. I can get faint or hypoglycemic if I dont have coffee with a little oil in it.

Indeed, there are hundreds of studies which show as much. It can't do that if it has "little to no nutrition". There are dozens of micro and macronutrients in olive oil that endow it with its healthful properties. Just because you are not aware of them or stick your head in the ground does not mean they are not there. Are you denying that olive oil is beneficial to health? Also, why is oil "refined" fat?

When I checked the numbers again my LDL was the same and my HDL had gone UP! And now, finally, the news is reporting that the cholesterol you Eat affects you very little as compared to the cholesterol your body Makes. Which, btw, it is only doing to protect you from whatever it is that is already going wrong in your body. Lower it at your own risk (statin users) if you haven't fixed the problem. Doctors who prescribe statins should be sued for malpractice.

    ***** Fatty liver disease develops from excess fructose, especially free fructose, consumption. Kidney damage and intestinal cancers have complex factors effecting them. An excess consumption of protein can be one factor but only when under consuming vegetables as they have countering protective factors that grains do not offer. In fact a normal consumption of meat combined with an over consumption of grains is just as risky as only over consuming meat for intestinal cancers. Also it's been shown that dairy consumption is protective against gout and gout related kidney stone formation. Of course little of that even matters for a ketogenic diet because the goal of the diet is to keep protein to the minimum requirement to prevent lean body mass wasting along with keeping carbohydrates low. Too much protein actually will kick someone out of keto faster than too many carbs.

    I was born and raised in Kerala India [Kerala happens to mean coconut]. The only oil traditionally used in Kerala is Coconut oil. Everything is cooked in coconut oil; coconut oil goes on our hair faces and skin daily; our babies get massaged with coconut oil. Traditional life is virtually saturated in coconut oil. But, alas, we are traditionally deprived of heart disease, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis, cancer, obesity, diabetes and ALL the advances of the science saturated countries. The only people blessed with these are the rich folks in the big cities who take up Western 'food' fashions. Other things we miss out on are wrinkles, arthritis, osteoporosis, and grey hair.

    Hate to break it to you coconut oil lovers but it would be best to stay away CO. I remember for a week I was doing coconut oil pulling and on a Sunday afternoon, I had signs of a heart attack. My sister is a RN, and is continuing to go higher in the field. For about two weeks or so, I had my right forearm, throbbing a couple times in a row. Never has this happened to me until o started taking coconut oil. Stopped using coconut oil for a while and a few days ago, started using it as a Deodorant mixed with baking soda. Helped with my odor a ton but now just yesterday, Sunday afternoon my right side of my chest started to throb a bit. And now not too long ago, I felt a sharp pain on the top right of my head. A strange feeling still lingering there. A lot of the coconut oil has been absorbed through my armpits , which is my guess. I don’t think I’ll be messing with coconut oil anymore. This stuff is not doing me good.

    The problem with what he is saying is that the basic premise of he assertion is a scientific fallacy. To be specific the truth is that cholesterol is your best friend and not the demon that it has been characterized as. As such the fact that coconut oil can raise your cholesterol is completely irrelevant. Without getting specific, cholesterol is the most misunderstood and incorrectly quoted element in the human body. When you don't consume cholesterol your body will manufacture it because it is essential to life. Cholesterol goes up when inflammation in your body goes up so that it can repair damaged tissue. Proper tissue repair equals longer life. Statistically the oldest people in the world have high cholesterol. Pharmaceutical corporations are not interested in truth. They are only interested in disseminating bullshit that will increase statin drug profits. That being said, dietary balance without over consuming anything is intelligent approach to health. Check out the book, "The Cholesterol Myths" Cheers!

    There are a lot of studies that dispel the lipid hypothesis first forwarded by Ancel Keys which influenced the FDA food pyramid. Recent information has pointed towards carbohydrates as the source of small particle size LDL which is responsible for atherosclerosis (clogging of arteries). Our bodies (especially our brains) are built with fats and cholesterol. Thinking cholesterol is evil is what got America to it's present state of obesity and heart disease. It is currently being re evaluated and some of us are integrating this new information into our lives and reaping the rewards of better health.

Put the coconut oil in a refrigerator, cut out chunks and shew it till it turns to liquid. #1 you will never need a dentist again you will notice a difference in the first week. When you take a blood test you take the Cholesterol and divide it by your HDL, which gives the risk factor. Coconut oil is an Omega 3 acid which raises HDL. Star with Tatar control and I promise you will be amazed. Will also remove cavities take the two-week challenge you won't believe the outcome!

    Correct Saturated fat does raise cholesterol. It raises HDL, which is the good cholesterol, and it also raises pattern A LDL. which is not the bad kind of LDL. the bad kind of LDL is pattern b. SD LDL. SDLDL is caused by: Individuals who consume a high amount of carbohydrates in their diet - especially refined sugars. Those that consume trans fats in their diet. (Margarine) Anyone who has uncontrolled diabetes. Individuals who have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. And Cholesterol does not cause atherosclerosis, it is part of the material, macrophage, fribrin, calcium etc, that forms the plaque in the arterial wall after an ‘insult’ to the endothelium. So atherosclerosis is actually the ‘scab’ over an injury caused by such things as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, trans fats, or small particles from cigarette smoke to name a few. Cholesterol has been described as the fire engine at a fire. You always see them at the scene of the fire but that doesn’t mean they started the fire. You can of course simply delete this post as you wish or promote the use of coconut oil for use for the value of the fatty acids it contains (as an alternative to the consumption of animal fats)

[For example, it did not attempt to measure what people ate when they did not eat saturated fat.] You then go on to cite several studies but don't bother to ask the same critical questions... You and I have been over your studies and I have pointed out similar problems (e.g. what kind of PUFA?) which you promptly ignored due to your confirmation bias. You're a hoot. Btw, have you ever looked at the experiment Stefansson did in 1930 after his polar explorations? He and Anderson ate ONLY meat for a year in a hospital setting. I'll dig it up for you if you can't find it. Like the Inuit they lived with for years earlier, they both did just fine on meat protein and saturated fat. LOL.

    I usually agree with you, Dr. Gregor, but here, we part ways. Coconut oil is an amazing solvent for denser fats that clog arteries, organs, and pores. If you have grease on your hands and use a finer fat, it will cut the grease and make it easier to clean your hands. That's how I understand raw oils like coconut and olive work in the body to cleanse the arteries. Even though coconut oil is a "saturated fat" it is liquid at body temperature. Yet I would never ingest heated oil - or use oil to cook, for something happens when food is heated that doesn't work well in my body. My bottom line test is this: if the dish can be cleaned with just hot water, without soap, then I feel comfortable with the food. A huge bowl of blueberries doesn't require soap... and neither does a spoonful of coconut oil. A friends's mother began feeding her Alzheimer's-stricken husband a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil a day and he improved immediately. She knew he was well when he started arguing with her like he had years before.

It's already been done! From 2004 at ajcn.nutrition.org/content/80/5/1102.full - "Mozaffarian et al (4) report the opposite association. They found that a higher saturated fat intake is associated with less progression of coronary artery disease according to quantitative angiography." Carbs seem to be the culprit in coronary artery disease. And from a 2010 article in the same American Journal of Clinical Nutrition... reporting on a study involving 21 studies and nearly 350,000 people... scientists discovered that there wasn't enough proof to link saturated fat to either heart disease or stroke. From ajcn.nutrition.org/content/91/3/535 - "Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat." And then there might also be a huge difference between cooked and raw oils and fats. My body is my laboratory and my experience says there is. Might be the element of cooking, heating, that makes fats not so good for us. Now THAT would be an interesting study.

    I use coconut oil for stir frying. While I don't think it's the superfood that it's hyped up to be, it's better than soybean, corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, and other vegetable seed oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats. Those polyunsaturated fats oxidize all to easily, especially when heated up. I don't think I'll be buying or ordering deep fried foods again. Most restaurants reuse vegetable oil many times over in their deep fryers. This means that the deep-fried food is loaded with oxidation products, carcinogens, trans fats, and other harmful substances. This multiplies one's risk of not only a heart attack or stroke but also cancer, diabetes, dementia, and Alzheimer's Disease.

    Oils and fats do not go INTO the blood stream. So how can they clog arteries??? The liver is highly intelligent and knows that fats cannot be placed into water (the blood). So it builds multitudes of HDL carriers so that the fats, vitamins, enzymes etc, are transported THROUGH the blood not placved IN the blood.. The cellular wall has lipids which are like gateways that marry to the HDL carriers (particles) and take from the HDL that which the cell requires. A huge problem today is that Statin drugs force the liver to produce small HDL particles which penetrate the artery walls and now you have lumps (cholesterol building a wall around the oxydising HDL particles) next comes the scab ( ) which when it breaks away can block the arteries downstream. Coconut oil, veges, fruit, nuts, seeds, fish, meat, eggs - Eat them all. Eat colours and variety - the more the variety the more the body functions.

    Christo Okulian Hi Christo - The plaque that has formed on the arterial wall is basically the same as a scab on your skin. Imagine there may be dozens of these scabs if not more and sooner or later they will break away and travel downstream. Poor diet - meaning anything that was not around 100 years ago - I call non foods - if eaten multiply the problem such as table salt (sea salt & pink salt however R excellent). sugar, stress in all its forms stresses the arterial wall (& organs) & trans fatty acids (junk food,processed non foods like margarine,flat pack cheese and meats etc) - so to answer your question: If a poor diet / lifestyle situation has already produced plaque (which is NOT a build up of cholesterol but of the resultant healing ie: scabbing), then taking statin will exacerbate the condition. BTW no one has ever died from high cholesterol - I took Statin for 3 little weeks when suddenly I found I could no longer make a fist and my legs began to seize - I threw the pills away and was lucky to heal -It took 2 years after just 3 weeks of taking the poison to completely heal. Please note your GP is not educated in why you shouldn't take statin but in why you should. There is now a new disease recognized as Statin myopathy.. Many lives are being ruined and some 30 diseases including liver disease is emerging as the result of statin use. Problem: if you research anything that hinges on natural cures or is objective to drugs on a site ending with org / gov / cancer institute etc etc do not expect to find the truth, Sorry but that's the world today - However, there are people like me who know that all you really need in this world is to return to the now imaginary world of 50 plus years ago and eat what they did - no fast foods-no fried stuff-no soft drinks-no packaged or processed foods-no margarine - no fake milk nothing labelled low fat - diet - zero etc Go for fruit-veges-nuts-seeds-eggs-full cream milk-full cream cheese-full cream butter - understand your body craves oil, fat and glucose not carbohydrates and fructose - high cholesterol is healthy - 25% of the cholesterol in your body is in your brain (brain food) - your thyroid is a cholesterol guzzler - cholesterol and UV light makes vitamin D3 - By making smaller HDL your are transporting less Vitamins, less oils, less cholesterol and all the other fat soluble nutrients to the cells - High cholesterol equals longevity - It's all up side down my friend-Final thought "Cholesterol was never heard of until they invented margarine" I was there

    I've used coconut oil to combat candida and in the process of killing off the yeast, it improved my skin. That is my personal, first-hand experience. My blood pressure has been a consistent 115/60 over the past six months I've been taking 2T of "extra virgin," i.e., cold pressed coconut oil a day. Again, no egghead research, but my personal experience. The saturated fats in coconut oil are medium-chain fatty acids, which your body processes directly into energy, NOT resulting in the cardiovascular damage caused by long-chain fatty acids found in meat. I like eating meat too, but how much is the beef/dairy industry paying you guys?

    +Line Broe unfortunataley it won't help. first of all, PUFA autooxidize even in closed dark bottle after about 3 weeks of storage. Second, human body has low ability to carry safely PUFA. Vitamin C and E won't prevent oxidation. When you reach limit of about 15-20 grams per day of PUFA consumption your triglycerides will sky rocket, doubling or tripling presense in blood. Thrid. Most of sold oils have very high (up to 50%) content of trans fats. Trans fats do not contribute to health at all. Actually they're toxins which destabilize body functions. 4. PUFA omega-6 are proinflamatory since PGE2 are derived from them. 5. Most people use oils for frying which is very bad idea.

    actually LDL is weak predictor of cardiovascular diseases. correlation goes as high as r=0.23 sometimes a little more, but 0.23 is typical value. values of r between 0-0.25 are weak corelations. what it means is that if you have r=0.3 then only 9% of cases of sclerosis can be explained by cholesterol level and 91% by other factors. We know that HDL level is stronger predictor. We now know that vitamin K2 intake is strongest predictor of these diseases, because there are K-dependent proteins which decalcify arteries and allow proper phagocytosis of remnants of sclerotic plaque. LDL just delivers fats to the place of inflammation for repair purposes. But the whole complex cycle does not complete when you are K2 deficient. There are studies both in animals and humans which show atherosclerosis can be reversed by adequate supply of K2 mk7.

    The observational studies that have assessed LDL as a risk factor when compared to other candidates have very frequently shown it to be a much weaker risk factor for coronary heart disease than the ratio of total-C to HDL-C, and more so apo B or LDL-P (i.e., LDL particle number). So I strongly disagree with the statement made early in the video that "LDL (and by this I assume LDL-C is implied)... is the number one risk factor ... for heart disease"; that was the state of the field 3 decades ago. Indeed, LDL-C can go up and LDL-P and apo B can go down. Furthermore, asking what happens when one simply adds a food to the diet is one thing; another is asking what happens if one replaces one source of calories with another. So what happens when one replaces carbohydrate calories with coconut oil?

    ***** What that study reported was a lack of statistically significant improvement (as assessed by the c-statistic) of risk prediction by adding lipoprotein measures (i.e., apo B, apoA/apoB, total LDL particle number = LDL-P, or HDL-P/LDL-P) to the AHA 2013 risk calculator. But that risk calculator has HDL-C and Total-C as the lipid inputs; LDL-C isn't an input. So this finding that your provided the reference for does not show that the lipoprotein measures are only as good as LDL-C (rather, it does show that they were not detectably better than the AHA 2013 risk score, which does not use LDL-C). More to the point, when the risk prediction afforded by LDL-C and apoB (or apoA/apoB, or LDL-P) has been compared directly, the lipoprotein measures have almost always (perhaps even always, but I cannot guarantee that i have read every paper on the subject; I cited one in an earlier message) been superior. So, my assessment of the statement in this (and other videos by the same author) that LDL-C is the number one (lipid-related) risk factor for heart disease remains that it is unambiguously incorrect given the current state of the data.

    +Tom Goff [There is still also, it appears, a fairly widespread focus by treating physicians on ldl c scores.] Of course there is. Most practicing doctors simply follow the guidelines of their professional associations which are influenced by big pharma. Treating physicians appeal to authority just like you. LOL. And why the emphasis on LDL-C? Because that's all that statin drugs treat. But the statin drug makers state right on the label that lowering LDL has not been proven to have an effect on CHD or CVD. All statin drugs do is lower LDL-C while making you very sick by interfering with the Mevalonate pathway. So doctors are prescribing statin drugs for millions of people to treat a "risk factor" that has little bearing on heart disease. What's really sad is that two recent Harvard studies (one statistical back-testing and one using a model) support giving statin drugs to more people with "slightly elevated" LDL-C. And if big pharma manages to convince the NCEP (and others) to change it's guidelines based on these two dubious studies, more people will needlessly suffer the severe side effects of statin drugs while putting a few extra billion dollars in the coffers of the big drug companies.

    The truth about coconut oil is obvious to anyone who has studied the health of those who live in traditional tropical cultures, where coconut has been a nutritious diet staple for thousands of years. Back in the 1930's, a dentist named Dr. Weston Price traveled throughout the South Pacific, examining traditional diets and their effect on dental and overall health. He found that those eating diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim, despite the high fat concentration in their diet, and that heart disease was virtually non-existent. Similarly, in 1981, researchers studied populations of two Polynesian atolls. Coconut was the chief source of caloric energy in both groups. The results, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,2 demonstrated that both populations exhibited positive vascular health. Not all coconut oil is equal as any company can produce low quality versions of it that may even hurt someones healthy by what they do to it.

    I tried coconut oil for a while but got heavy palpitations. I don't think it's healthy to intake that many calories from any source of fats at a time.

    I would happen to disagree, my ldl and hdl were very bad and my tris were very high! I switched to coconut oil for cooking and a little olive oil for dressing. my ldl in hdl went into a great range and my tris tanked to normal by 180 points, so don't tell me it doesn't work!

    You are correct. This guy is not a scientist and doesn't know what he's talking about.

    So as long as my cholesterol is fine, and I am not overweight, I can eat coconut oil? I like to fry my veggie burger in a bit of it.

    All oils are bad, been proven to reduce blood flow by 30% for up to 8 hrs after just 1 TBS of consumption. Congrats on your health. It smells better than it tastes, that's what you're experiencing.

    Doriesep6622 I don't think this video is absolutely conclusive on the subject, scientific nutrition rarely is. I think the point is, if you use it sparingly, and it has no negative effects on your health, then continue. But, if like many of these so called "health experts" suggest, you should start using it as a health aid, not so fast. As for me, I don't use it, and see no reason to start.

    Joseph1NJ Hmmm...he is not making a distinction between coconut oil which is hydrogenated as virgin coconut, which is not.

    There are many people eating keto diet by using MCT oil. Can MCT oil from coconut oil clog arteries? Thanks for your prompt response.

    So talking about vegetable oils, especially Coconut Oil (ORGANIC, UNREFINED), I have had suffered strokes during 2014/5, n was still trying to find new job w/o knowing what to do other than keeping taking Aspirin past 30 years. I remembered then I stopped taking Atenolol n Simvastatin ; which was prescribed by my previous MD many years ago, since over 5 YRS ago. So forced myself to go to see another MD to get Atenolol n Smvastatin to control my high blood pressure n cholesterol . Then still I have had trouble with my brain functions to realize a couple yrs later having some problems to handle normal procedures of my new job during 2016/7. Since got kicked out fm my latest job after just one year in 2017, I just wanted to work on my resume to find anther job. Having nothing but the time in hands, started to watch KZread VIDs to find some VIDs about earlier symptoms of Alzheimer which symptoms I have had since then. And have been eating COCONUT OIL (Organic, Undefined, Cold pressed,) after watching, thank GOD, Dr. Mary Newport VIDs on KZread. I only happened to notice these Dr. Mary Newport's VID just recently while I have had earlier symptoms of Alzhimer's having a lot of trouble while driving; especially with severe dry-eyes condition as well. Oh, anyway There is a VID on KZread concerning how to use Coconut Oil directly to EYES; applying to edges of eyes with Q-TIPS which seems to be brilliant idea. It really helps big-time for Dry-eyes condition. I have applied Coconut Oil using Q-tip to eyes in AM, & never needed any of eye-drop anymore past 2 monthes now. I also has been applying CASTOR OIL to eyes when goning sleep since about 3 monthes ago which has help with my Dry-eyes condition especially after having Laser-surgery for my right-eye due to Retina-hole with severe dry-eye condition for many years w/o realizing it. But also, just like the testimony of Dr. Mary Newport's husbund, I have felt the exact same feeling that "The light switch was turned on in my brain almost immediately after started having a couple of spoonful of Organic Coconut Oil. GOD bless Dr. Mary Newport & everyone involved doing the good works I pray in the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST -Amen PS: Just in case anybody wondering, I'm 65 by coming JAN/2018. PPS: Organic Coconut Oil-Unrefined (Tropical Life brand) was delivered by Walmart On-line when I ordered for the first time. It did have good smell of Coconut Oil. But when bought Organic Coconut oil (UNDEFINED) off the shelves of Walmart store a couple of weeks ago because I just noticed they have them in the store; but it was different brand (Organic GREAT VALUE) & it does not smell any Coconut at all fyr

    This is all assuming that the cholesterol theory is true. It is good for selling pharmaceutical drugs.
