The health properties of coconut oil arouse constant controversy and unwavering interest among scientists and specialists in the field of healthy eating. Therefore, conflicting information can be found in the literature, as well as numerous studies on the effect of this substance on the human body. The high saturated fat content seems to be the biggest intolerance. Nevertheless, those contained in coconut oil are characterized by an average chain length, which means that they are not as harmful to the human circulatory system as the saturated fatty acids contained in animal fats. However, it is important to consume coconut oil with caution, then it can have beneficial effects on the body and human well-being.

Studies published in the 2007 Journal of Medicinal Food indicate that when used properly, coconut oil can help treat athlete's foot. All this is due to its properties responsible for fighting harmful fungi of the Candida family.

It turns out that consuming adequate amounts of this product, in conjunction with an adequate diet, increases the concentration of ketone bodies in the brain, which provide an alternative source of energy (instead of glucose) in the course of these diseases.
