It seems like scientists and food critics alike can’t seem to agree on whether or not coconut oil is good for us or bad for us. But if you are a fan of coconut oil you will agree that regardless of how you use it, it is super tasty and even works to maintain healthy hair.
In the early days coconut oil got a pretty bad reputation for being high in saturated fats that appear to make us unhealthy. Perhaps the chemical process of hydrogenation is what gave this sweet oil its bad name among people who believe that saturated fat in your diet is all bad.
You may may want to know that when it comes to fat, we actually need certain kinds in our daily diets. You wouldn’t have any way to regulate your bad cholesterol in your body if it were not for the good cholesterol. And when this good type of fat comes from foods like coconut oil, that means that we really don’t need to fear it as much.
If you are wondering what cooking with coconut oil is going to taste like, you are not alone. If sweet tasting food is your thing, you will be happy to know that using coconut oil just may make your creations a little bit more delicious and sweet.
When you are replacing that unhealthy trans-fatty cooking oil you are used to in the future, keep in mind that there are healthier sources of oil that are quite good for your body and your taste buds.
