Years ago, coconut oil was always used for cooking. In the 1950's, you could buy it at your local supermarket. Everyone cooked with it. Housewives used butter and coconut oil to fry in, and it was also used in baking.
Everything changed when medical studies said eating saturated fats causes high triglyceride levels. The research claimed all saturated fats raise your cholesterol levels and should be eliminated from your diet, including coconut oil.
Like a stray dog nobody wanted, poor ol' coconut oil was left out in the cold. But it's time for virgin coconut oil to make a come-back because modern research has proven that not all saturated fats are the same!
