10 Ways Coconut Oil Improves Your Health

9: High smoke point.

One area where coconut oil has an edge over olive oil is its smoke point. What’s a smoke point? That’s the temperature at which the oil begins to boil and break down. Olive oil is very light and starts to turn rancid and break down into trans fats when we use it for high temperature frying. Meanwhile, coconut oil maintains its natural chemical composition at high temperatures, making it suitable even for deep frying without risking our health. So for salads, choose olives, but for eggs, choose coconut!
