Coconut Oil: 3 Surprising Side Effects That You Probably Didn’t Know About

December 17,2019
Share:

Coconut oil is one of the most beneficial natural oils but unexpectedly has side effects.

Coconut oil has some side effects that you probably didn’t know about.

Coconut oil is one of the richest sources of saturated fat, which is beneficial to health, and many people opt for it because of it’s benefits to the skin.

If you’re not careful about when and how you use this product, the risks of coconut oil can become apparent. Virgin coconut oil, which is the purest form of the oil doesn’t have side effects, but when it’s processed into the commercial oil we use, it develops side effects.

Although coconut oil is a natural source of vitamins and fats which have numerous health benefits, too much of anything can be dangerous. The best way to use coconut oil is by using the right quantity

All these side effects occur when the coconut oil extracted has been adulterated for commercial use.

1. Diarrhoea

This is the most common side effects of coconut oil. When coconut oil is taken orally to fight the internal bacterial infection, the process of destroying the bacteria can lead to certain short-term side effects like diarrhea.

2. Increase cholesterol levels

Coconut has high levels of LDL (the bad cholesterol) and good HDL cholesterol, this can still be troubling to people who already have a high amount of cholesterol in their bloodstream. The saturated fat content in coconut oil is higher than other fats or oils (butter or olive oil).

It has been found that high levels of saturated fat lead to an increase in bad cholesterol, which can eventually result in health complications.

3. May cause allergies

Ensure you find out what you’re allergic to before consuming coconut oil. You can check by applying a little amount to your skin, to see changes. Coconut oil does cause allergies if one is sensitive to it. Some of the allergic reactions include nausea, rashes, eczema, hives, vomiting, and anaphylaxis (a lethal emergency that involves troubled breathing).
