It’s time to stop turning to coconut oil to make your brownies healthier. An AHA survey found that 72 percent of Americans considered coconut oil a health food. But coconut oil, it turns out, is shockingly high in saturated fats. In fact, 82 percent of the fat found in coconut oil is saturated ― that’s significantly more than olive oil, which clocks in at 14 percent and canola oil, which contains a mere seven percent. You’re better off sticking to oils that are lower in saturated fats such as the aforementioned olive oil.
