In this short video, I want to explain whether or not consuming coconut oil will raise your cholesterol. Yes, coconut oil could raise your cholesterol. But, who cares?

There is no research that shows any negative aspects of consuming coconut oil on your heart. There is no data that shows that even if your cholesterol goes up from consuming coconut oil, that you’re going to have a higher risk of a heart problem.

There is fat in coconut oil, and it may temporarily increase your cholesterol. But, it’s not about the total cholesterol. It’s about the LDL. This is known as “bad cholesterol.”

There are two types of LDL:

1. Small dense particles
2. Large buoyant particles

Small dense particles can cause problems. What determines whether or not you have these small dense particles, doesn’t have to do with coconut oil, cholesterol, or fat. It has to do with carbs. If your carbs are high, you’ll have the small dense type of LDL. If you go low carb, you may have high LDL, but it will be the large buoyant type.

A simple test you can do is called an advanced lipid profile test, which can determine what type of LDL you have.

Coconut oil has medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil). This will typically cause your triglycerides to go down, your HDL to go up, and your insulin to go down.
