Pregnancy guidance
LimitCoconut oil should be limited during pregnancy due to its exceptionally high saturated fat content. Over 80 percent of the fatty acids in coconut oil are saturated, which can raise maternal LDL cholesterol when eaten regularly. The USDA recommends replacing tropical oils high in saturated fats with liquid oils rich in unsaturated fats. Use coconut oil sparingly for occasional baking or ethnic culinary dishes.
