The frying oil is made from copra, that is coconut flesh dried by smoking, by spreading out under the sun, by drying machine, or by combination of them. After that, the copra will be processed to be oil.

However, all the process to turn fresh coconut become oil is susceptible to dirt brought by insects or fungus.

The long process increases the chance of problem such as fat level raising, cholesterol and fat piles.

The opposite is medium chain fatty acid (lauric acid) needs short burning process. It can increase metabolism, too, as well as body immune and recovery process. Our cells will work more efficiently to produce new cells and to replace the broken cells.
