Ironically, despite coconut oilâs high calorie and saturated fat content, some people use it to lose weight and lower cholesterol. Coconut oil is sometimes applied to the skin as a moisturizer and to treat a skin condition called psoriasis.
Thereâs no danger of overdosing on coconut oil because it is a food, not a drug, so itâs safe. Itâs so safe that the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) includes coconut oil on its exclusive Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) list of foods. My own maintenance dosage is swallowing at least 4 tablespoons daily. My wife uses only coconut oil in her cooking so thatâs probably another tablespoon or so, not to mention other coconut products (meat and milk) I consume on a regular basis.
