The reason why coconut has been so reviled by those concerned with good health is that nearly all of its fatty acids are saturated fats that people now link with high cholesterol levels and heart disease. However, this myth has been largely debunked and many large-scale studies have been done to disprove the idea that saturated fats clog the arteries and lead to cardiac issues. The fatty acids that coconut is so rich in have been found to go straight to the liver from the digestive tract and there be used as a source of quick energy or turned into compounds called ketone bodies, which can have a therapeutic effect on brain disorders like epilepsy or Alzheimer’s.
