Kokosolja är bajs.

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.

Lite orättvist mot kokosoljan kanske? Resultaten verkar ju svänga hit och dit. Kokosoljan ska öka risken för hjärtsjukdom, men länderna som konsumerar mycket kokosolja har inte särskilt hög dödlighet i hjärtsjukdom, eller?

In summary, although evidence of an association between coconut consumption and risk factors for heart disease is mostly of very poor quality, it suggests that coconut oil, when compared with cis unsaturated plant oils, raises total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C, although not as much as butter does. The impact of coconut oil consumption on the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C was often not reported.

There is no robust evidence on disease outcomes, and most of the evidence is related to lipid profiles. In comparison with other fat sources, coconut oil did not raise total or LDL cholesterol to the same extent as butter in one of the studies by Cox et al.,31 but it did increase both measures to a greater extent than did cis unsaturated vegetable oils.

It has been hypothesized that the more favorable lipid profiles and lower mortality rates observed in coconut-consuming populations are due to the foods that constitute the rest of their traditional diets.
