Olive oil is considerably rich in monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are "good fats" that reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Unlike saturated fats, olive oil lowers total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein levels in the blood. It is also known to lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.
There are four types of fat- terrible fat, bad fat, good fat, and best fat. Trans fat= terrible Saturated fat= bad Monounsaturated= good Polyunsaturated= best
Every food with fat contains at least some saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. So yes, coconut contains some monounsaturated fat- but it's not very much. Coconut oil is about 90% saturated, which is extremely high compared to any food stuff. Olive oil, canola oil, certain nuts (walnuts and pecans especially) even avocados would be better sources of monounsatured fat
