0:21.6	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I got this question the other day. Will consuming coconut oil raise my
0:50.9	cholesterol? So let's just talk about it. The answer is yes it might but who cares?
0:57.0	There is absolutely no research anywhere that shows any negative aspects of consuming coconut oil on your heart.
1:07.0	There's no data that shows that even if your cholesterol goes up from coconut oil, that you're going to have a heart attack or any risk factor at all for having a heart problem.
1:18.8	Now, if you happen to see a study, make sure you read it because it'll be on mice and they will also have something else in the diet which is usually glucose or sucrose
1:30.4	which is sugar. But if you're actually just talking about coconut oil, you're not going to increase
1:36.8	the risk for heart problems at all. Okay. So here's the thing. When you consume coconut oil,
1:41.2	there's fat in there. It may temporarily increase your cholesterol.
1:45.8	But here's the key point. It's not about the total cholesterol. It's usually about the LDL,
1:52.1	okay? Low density lipoprotein. They call this the bad cholesterol. Well, here's the thing.
1:59.1	There is two types of LDL. One is the small, dense particles,
2:03.9	and the other version is the large, buoyant particles, which are they float. And what determines
2:11.2	if you have the small dense particles, which can invade the wall of the artery and create a lot
2:16.7	of inflammation and problem.
2:18.9	It has to do not with your coconut oil or cholesterol or fat. It has to do with your carbs.
2:25.1	If your carbs are high, the LDL type you'll have is a small dense. If you don't have
2:33.0	these refined carbs, so you go low carb, you may have high LDL,
2:38.4	but it will be the large, buoyant type LDL. A simple test to do would be to get an advanced
2:46.4	lipid profile test and determine what type of LDL you have. Then you'll know for sure.
