Coconut oil has become in the past years an alternative oil for many who seek to improve their health. However, sales of the product have fallen dramatically.

The rise of the Paleo diet, which used coconut oil as its dressing for cooking, made it a food that became very fashionable. In addition, coconut oil has also become a super popular ingredient in hair and even skin creams.

What happened that now the fans of this product of the fruit of the palms no longer consume it with the same vehemence? An article published by Cooking Light states that this is not news that should take us by surprise because in the past it has been reported that the high levels of saturated fat that coconut oil contains can negatively affect your cholesterol level. So the American Heart Association recommended using other types of cooking oil and not coconut oil.

The general notion is that coconut oil helps lose weight and can increase your defenses, reinforcing your metabolism. Not surprisingly, Cooking Light reports that sales of this product fell in 2017.

In 2013, coconut oil became one of the Google search trends. Inclusively, the note outlines that the Washington Post established that the companies turned to make this product generating over $ 229 million in sales. In addition, after the report made by the American Heart Association, in the sense that said oil has a lot of saturated fat, sales dropped about $ 52 million. This seems to be the reason why it allegedly went out of style.
