In this segment, Dr. Mary Newport reveals the results of her comprehensive analysis of coconut oil studies. She and colleague Dr. Fabian Dayrit analyzed 984 complete lipid profiles from 26 different studies to answer a simple question: Does coconut oil really raise cholesterol?

The findings challenge conventional medical wisdom. On average across all participants:
• Total cholesterol: virtually unchanged (-0.13%)
• LDL cholesterol: decreased (-1.8%)
• HDL cholesterol: increased (+5.8%)
• Triglycerides: decreased (-2.9%)

Dr. Newport explains why individual responses vary dramatically in short-term studies (3-7 weeks) but stabilize over longer periods. She discusses the critical distinction between medium-chain triglycerides (which make up most of coconut oil's saturated fat) and long-chain saturated fats, and why this difference has been overlooked in dietary guidelines for decades.

Particularly striking: a 2-year study of 192 men with coronary heart disease found no difference in cholesterol levels between those using coconut oil versus sunflower oil."
