FullHorizon skrev:Grunden til man siger kokosolie er godt til tilberedning, er fordi kokosolie ikke har tendens til at omdannes til transfedtsyrer. Det er dog stort set ligegyldigt hvis det bare er til standard madlavning, men hvis du har olie der gentagne gange opvarmes eller ved meget høje temperaturer bruger man kokosolie.

Kokosolie er tilgengæld meget "tykt" i det, hvilket indikerer en mindre andel umættede fedtsyrer. Jeg tror solsikke olie er det sundeste mht. mængden af umættede fedtsyrer, men det er vist ikke lige så varmeresistent som fx olivenolie.

Så jeg ville IKKE bruge kokosolie til almindelig husbehov.

Så kokosolie er et dårligt valgt, hvis det ikke er fordi man kan lide smagen eller hvis man bare i forvejen får nok mættet fedt?

So how are people using coconut oil? What are some of the health benefits of coconut oil being reported? Some of the most recent research has come from people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, with reports of people improving or even reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s by using coconut oil. Alzheimer’s is now seen as a type 3 form or diabetes, and for years we have seen positive results from people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in using coconut oil. We have also seen a lot of reports of coconut oil health benefits from those suffering from hypothryroidism, as coconut oil helps boost metabolism and raise body temperatures to promote thyroid health. Restricting carbohydrates and increasing coconut oil in the diet has also led many to report losing weight with coconut oil. Candida sufferers also report health benefits with coconut oil as research now confirms, and those suffering from various skin diseases are also seeing tremendous health benefits by applying coconut oil directly on the skin. The benefits of coconut oil for healthy hair are also well known, and other healthy benefits of coconut oil included fighting off bacterial infections and viruses. Coconut oil is also increasingly being seen to benefit athletes and fitness trainers giving them an advantage in sustaining energy levels longer without drugs or stimulants.

The United States Food and Drug Administration,[2] World Health Organization,[3] International College of Nutrition,[4] the United States Department of Health and Human Services,[5] American Dietetic Association,[6] American Heart Association,[7] British National Health Service,[8] and Dietitians of Canada[6] recommend against the consumption of significant amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat.
Coconut oil contains a large proportion of lauric acid, a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol[28] that is also found in significant amounts in laurel oil, palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil), human and animal breast milk and sebaceous gland secretions.[29][30] This may create a more favourable blood cholesterol profile, though it is unclear if coconut oil may promote atherosclerosis through other pathways.[28] Because much of the saturated fat of coconut oil is in the form of lauric acid, coconut oil may be a better alternative to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil when solid fats are required.[31] In addition, virgin coconut oil is composed mainly of medium-chain triglycerides,[32] which may not carry the same risks as other saturated fats.[31][33] Early studies on the health effects of coconut oil used partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which creates trans fats, and not virgin coconut oil, which has a different health risk profile.[34]
