Does coconut oil and fish oil raise cholesterol levels?

[nkingy2003]

At present I take 3 tblsps of coconut oil each day and 3 fish oil capsules.

I have read a lot about each of them saying that they are very good for health and have many benefits. I have also read people/articles saying that they raise cholesterol levels. What is the truth? Do these raise cholesterol levels?

Which cholesterol levels are you referring to ?

I highly doubt either of them have a negative effect on blood lipids.

They both increase HDL and improve the cholesterol profile (ie good for health). But there are many other benefits as well.

most likely it will improve your lipid profile...increase HDLs and prob decrease trigs and LDLs
