If you're unaware that there are de facto many types of saturated fat of which not all are harmful, no wonder you have been misled by the propaganda created by those with vested interest in other cooking oil businesses to discredit coconut oil.

Disadvantage #1 - No supervene on the common Cold
The medium-chain fatty acids (Mcfas) in it can kill many types of viruses, including the influenza virus that causes the flu. But they're helpless against the virus (rhinovirus) that triggers the common cold. In fact, no medications or herbal remedies are capable of fighting rhinovirus, except your body immune system. Mcfas effectively deal with the infection by producing specific antibodies, which disarm the virus-infected cells.
Of course, any infection could leave your immune principles vulnerable to invasion by more bacteria, germs and viruses. That's where Mcfas come into play.
Mcfas help you kill those harmful microorganisms and ease the burden off your immune principles so that it can focus on fighting the cold virus effectively. So it's still foremost to eat coconut oil when you're down with common cold.
Disadvantage #2 - inordinate May Harm
Just because I said coconut oil is salutary doesn't mean you start scoffing a ton of it. You could end up running diarrhea-like symptoms if your body is not used to such sudden change.
Go slow with 1 to 2 teaspoons each time and slowly increase to 3 or 4 tablespoons a day.
The primary Pacific islanders are taking as much as 10 tablespoons of the "liquid crystal" in their daily diet, I don't see why we can't be like them. The key divergence is they've long been used to that amount while we're not, so you have to slowly add the dosage to condition your body into adapting to it eventually.
Disadvantage #3 - Flavor Sucks!
Most population love its aromatic flavor. However, like durian, some population may not like it.
So, if the primary smell or taste of this liquid crystal just doesn't motion to you, fret not, you still have 2 options.
1. If you can't eat by the spoonful on its own, mix it into the food or beverage you're having.
2. You can use it in cooking. Just replace your usual cooking oil with it and you're intelligent restorative Mcfas without excess fat intake. It's that simple.
Coconut oil possesses many marvelous condition benefits which can more than offset the 3 disadvantages listed above but sadly, it has yet to be appreciated by many. Even some doctors, scientists and nutritionists believe it is as bad as animal fat.
That's how ingrained the bad impression of this super food is.
On the contrary, the Mcfas protect and treat your body against a wide range of diseases - heart disease, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, cancers, Crohn's disease, kidney failure etc, just to name a few. They're easy to suck in and help you to lose weight too.
Yes, you heard me correctly - it's also able to burn off those stubborn excess body fats that cause your weight gain. All this can be achieved in a natural, salutary way.
