Quoted from gweempose:Have experts reversed their thinking on coconut oil? I remember when the Center for Science in the Public Interest lobbied hard to have coconut oil banned from movie theaters. This was a while ago, though, so things could have changed. I definitely agree that coconut oil makes the best popcorn, hands down.
No, coconut oil is still a saturated fat. Consumers did not like the flavor of the alternative oils. So, little by little, everyone switched back to coconut oil.
