I should have put "Fresh" Coconut in the title. I am not referring to packaged or sweetened coconut.
We are now the owners of a dozen or so mature coconut palms that are busy dropping a bumper crop.
Unfortunately, I have read that coconut meat is full of saturated fat. So now I am concerned. My total cholesterol and LDL are a bit elevated, but all my other numbers (HDL, TG, BP, various "ratios," weight, waist measurement, visceral fat %age) are normal to good.
Due to the saturated fat - do I need to limit my coconut intake to "occasional" or can I eat as much as I want (3-4 ounces daily)? Weight gain is not a concern.
Just seeking opinions. Thanks!
