Hello: I Was Just Diagnosed With High Cholesterol. I've Been
Hello:
I was just diagnosed with high cholesterol. I've been researching online which foods will help lower this, and also which foods to avoid. One of the foods to avoid is coconut oil because it's high in saturated fat content. Ok...here's my question: What are the chances, if I have been putting coconut oil all over my skin after a bath for years, that enough has seeped through my skin into the blood stream to cause my cholesterol to go up? Any? Some? Definitely?
