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. One thing is for sure though, it is really delicious and has many uses both in cooking and in maintaining the health of your overall body.
Scientists once gave coconut oil a bad reputation for being completely unhealthy for consumption, but new testing is finding different information. 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.
But having certain kinds of fats in your diet is absolutely necessary for optimum health. If you have the good kind of cholesterol in your diet, then the bad kind of cholesterol is kept to a minimum. When you are getting these healthy fats from your diet though, it becomes necessary to realize that the food you eat just may be supplying you with the kind of nutrition that will keep you healthy.
You may be wondering if coconut oil is going to taste like candy, or oil though. Although it may not taste exactly like a raw coconut it does have a sweet taste that lends itself well to confection cooking and baking. Not only that, but you may be really surprised to know that in addition to its good taste you can also use
coconut oil for skin conditions with some great benefit.So the next time you are at the local grocery store and are looking for the perfect compliment to your cooking, look no further than the coconut oil aisle where you can find that sweet things do come in small packages.
I never knew this
