I am always suspicious of any claims that a particular food is a 'superfood'. However, I have read so much more recent research regarding edible fats and the problems now associated with carbohydrates that I am personally more inclined to accept the recent trend towards endorsing LCHF, including an increase in the consumption of saturated fats in the diet, including coconut oil. You can't focus on one ingredient exclusively and that's where I think both the reports linked to fall down. In my case I decided to rebalance my Omega 3/6 consumption ratio so I still consume polyunsaturated fats, but I have increased my mono and saturated fat consumption as well. I am also trying to increase my EPA and DHA Omega 3 components (via fish oils). This means I have stopped using sunflower oil entirely and replaced this with primarily cold-pressed rapeseed oil for frying and general cooking. But I have introduced coconut oil into my cooking, not to replace anything but to supplement and for the flavour which I really like, especially in curries and other Asian recipes. And of course I have reduced carbs by about 90%. On top of that I try to eat more oily fish and also take a fish oil supplement. I'm also doing more exercise. You need to consider all these activities to form an overall picture. I should get my next blood test results in a few weeks - can't wait to see if there is a significant change over the last 6 months.
