There are so many things that it can be used for, but here are just a few of the uses for coconut oil which you may not have considered: 1. Coconut oil for cooking When taken by mouth: Coconut oil is commonly consumed in foods. But coconut oil contains a type of fat (saturated fat) that can increase cholesterol levels. Like all saturated fats, it should be consumed in moderation. Coconut oil is possibly safe when used as a medicine short-term.

Kinsella, R., et al. (2017). Coconut oil has less satiating properties than medium chain triglyceride oil [Abstract]. Coconut oil is also a widely used health supplement which has been found to lower cholesterol, promote stable blood sugar levels (vital for diabetics) and decrease fatigue.
