the claim

Eating coconut oil raises LDL cholesterol levels compared with unsaturated oils.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating coconut oil raises LDL cholesterol levels compared with unsaturated oils?

Partly. A WHO rapid overview of systematic reviews addresses coconut oil versus other vegetable oils on cardiovascular risk factors but reports no LDL result in the retrieved text. One randomised trial and a preprint analysis of 26 studies report no consistent LDL-cholesterol increase with coconut oil compared with unsaturated oils, though the trial is described as an exception and the analysis is a preprint.
