As far as the evidence goes, it suggests that coconut oil, added regularly to a balanced diet, lowers cholesterol to normal by promoting its conversion into pregnenolone. (The coconut family contains steroids that resemble pregnenolone, but these are probably mostly removed when the fresh oil is washed with water to remove the enzymes which would digest the oil.) Coconut-eating cultures in the tropics have consistently lower cholesterol than people in the U.S. Everyone that I know who uses coconut oil regularly happens to have cholesterol levels of about 160, while eating mainly cholesterol rich foods (eggs, milk, cheese, meat, shellfish). I encourage people to eat sweet fruits, rather than starches, if they want to increase their production of cholesterol, since fructose has that effect.
就证据而表明，定期添加到均衡饮食中的椰子油可通过促进胆固醇转化为孕烯醇酮来降低胆固醇至正常水平。 （椰子系列食品含有类似于孕烯醇酮的类固醇，但是当新鲜椰子油用水洗涤以去除油消化酶时，其中类固醇也可能大部分被去除。）热带地区的椰子食用者的胆固醇始终低于美国人， 我认识的每个经常使用椰子油的人的胆固醇水平都在 160 左右，同时主要食用富含胆固醇的食物（鸡蛋、牛奶、奶酪、肉类、贝类）。 我建议吃甜水果，而不是淀粉，如果想增加胆固醇的产生，果糖有这种效果。
