HattieLovesCattie, coconut oil can not increase cholesterol. Cholesterol comes ONLY from foods that come from animals (meat, poultry, fish, fowl, eggs, dairy). This is because cholesterol is produced by an animal's liver. Coconuts do not have livers.

I bet coconut oil makes one's cholesterol shoot up.
