on frying anyways.

Doesn't coconut oil raise bad cholesterol?

I don't think so.  And I think there's no bad cholesterol either.
The
last papers I read say that a mildly high cholesterol (of any kind)
gives you benefits.  For instance, there's a certain correlation

between >> high cholesterol (of the ``bad'' kind) and good brain
health.

 
The human body contains more than one type of cholesterol.  One is
good, the other not so much.
 
Anyone can write an article about their beliefs about cholesterol.
I prefer to listen to my doctor.

 
That's quite right.  I listen to my doctor and to the articles---my
doctor does read the articles too, after all, which also makes up good
conversation.  Of course, how we choose a doctor and how we listen is
where it's at.  Incompetence is ubiquitous these days.

My main problem is the 'Doctors' who can't read a cholesterol test
correctly.  It's been 6 months and time for BP refills so have to go
in.  Wanna bet I get that callback ;oh you have to come in'.  My HDL
(good stuff) is well above 50 and my LDL (bad stuff) is well under 50.
The problem is the HDL is really high so it breaks the metrics they are
used to.
