      Nope. Coconut oil is really high in saturated fat. It’s bad. The fact that it went through a phase where people were considering it a “healthy” fat had actual nutritionists raging.

        Fair enough! That’s really good to know. I’ll stick to using it externally for my skin in the winter, unless there’s better options out there and I’ve been misinformed about that too. Actually, I’m gonna go double check that right now

        A little bit to thicken a Thai curry won’t do much harm though. Just don’t use it as your daily cooking fat.

          Sure sure. As with anything, moderation is key. But for a while there all the “health” influencers were making it out to be a super healthy option and telling people to put it in practically everything.
