  1. Coconut oil commonly referred to as a vegetable oil, though coconuts are not vegetables. Coconuts are actually a fruit, classified as a “drupe.” Drupes are fruits that have an inner flesh and seed surrounded by a hard shell. Coconuts are not nuts or seeds either— the oil comes from the flesh of the fruit. Coconut oil is classified as lauric oil because the main fatty acid is lauric acid. Lauric acid can be classified as either a medium-chain or long-chain fatty acid. Some coconut oils, and other oils, say “expeller-pressed” or “cold-pressed.” Both are methods of obtaining the oil using machinery. Expeller presses press the coconut meat and use friction to extract the oil. Though no external heat is used, heat is produced through the friction so the oil ends up being heated. The temperatures sometimes exceed 200°F. In cold pressing, the temperature never exceeds 120°F. The coconut meat is simply squeezed, with little friction and no additional heat. It’s thought that more antioxidants remain intact during the cold press process as opposed to the expeller press, which may destroy some nutritional content due to the high heat. Virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconut meat and has a coconut smell and flavor. Refined coconut oil made from the copra, and is steam refined so the flavor and smell is taken out. They have the same nutritional profile. The main difference is that refined coconut oil has a higher smoke point and a neutral taste. Coconut oil that you find in your run of the mill supermarket or at the local health food store, no matter the type, is high in saturated fat – ranging between 82-92%! In fact, it’s considered a solid fat. One tablespoon of coconut oil adds up to more than 11 grams of saturated fats. The daily limit recommended by the American Heart Association is 13 grams. So despite the questions about whether or not coconut oil is healthy; consuming it can reduce inflammation, support cognitive and heart health, protect organs, and boost energy levels.
