    Coconut oil has gained popularity due to claims that it can help with weight loss and reducing Alzheimer's risk. It is now widely used in cooking and in many packaged goods like fried foods, chocolate, and coffee. While most Americans believe coconut oil is healthy, only 37% of dietitians agree as it is high in saturated fat which has been linked to heart disease when consumed in excess of dietary guidelines recommending less than 10% of calories from saturated fat.

    Coconut Oil

    With promises that it can help with anything from weight reduction to reducing the onset of

    Alzheimer's disease, coconut oil has gained popularity in recent years.

    Coconut oil is now widely used by producers in packaged goods, and many people cook with it.

    Coconut oil is present in many goods, including fried dishes, chocolates, shampoos, coffee, and

    smoothies.

    A poll conducted in the United States in July 2016 revealed that while 72% of respondents thought

    coconut oil was healthy, just 37% of dietitians concurred.

    Over 80% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated. Saturated fats have been connected by some experts

    with heart disease and other conditions.

    According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, saturated fat intake should be kept at

    less than 10% of total calories.
