The problem with coconut oil, according to the AHA, is that 82 percent of the fat in it is saturated. That's more saturated fat than butter, beef fat, or even pork lard. As a saturated fat, coconut oil increases your LDL cholesterol—you know, the "lousy" cholesterol, not the good stuff—and, therefore, may contribute to cardiovascular disease. The AHA wants you to know that cardiovascular disease is "the leading global cause of death, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year."
