Did you know coconut oil is awesome for you?
Although it is a saturated fat, it’s a good one. The difference is, most fats are made up of long chain fatty acids (triglycerides). Coconut oil is made up of medium chain fatty acids (triglycerides). This significant difference is why coconut oil is better for us, more heat stable than other oils and resistant to rancidity.
Long chain fatty acids require pancreatic digestive enzymes and bile to break them down, whereas medium chain fatty acids are broken down gently in the stomach, without the need for pancreatic enzymes or bile. This makes coconut oil, waaayy better for digestion.
Switch to coconut oil for cooking. It is very heat stable and does not lose its value like other oils. It also keeps a lot longer than other oils, without the need for refrigeration.
