Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Your only concern here, really, is the hydrogenated coconut oil, which is worse for you than eating straight lard. Coconut oil is higher in cholesterol, no kidding. And hydrogenating it -- this simply means whipping it so it maintains a semi-solid state, which is what plugs up your arteries -- makes it even worse.
