Coconut oil intake revealed no clinically relevant improvement in lipid profile and body composition compared to other oils/fats, according to a systematic review published in Lipids in Health and Disease.
Despite having a 92% concentration of saturated fatty acid composition, leading to an apparently unfavorable lipid profile, body weight and glycemic effect, coconut oil is consumed worldwide. Thus, we conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to analyze the effect of coconut oil intake on different cardiometabolic outcomes.We searched Medline, Embase, and LILACS for RCTs conducted prior to April 2022.
The amount of coconut oil consumed varied and is expressed differently among studies: 12 to 30 ml of coconut oil/day , as part of the amount of SFAs or total daily consumed fat , a variation of 6 to 54.4 g/day , or as part of the total caloric energy intake . Coconut oil intake did not significantly decrease body weight , waist circumference , and % body fat , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , and triglyceride levels .
