Coconut oil: does heating reduce its effectiveness?

Hello folks,

Up until recently I consumed my extra virgin coconut oil straight from the jar, with a spoon.

However, yesterday I tried cooking with it - mixed with olive oil to simmer some onions and vegetables for a soup prepare soup - and rather enjoyed the taste.

I'm just wondering however, would heating the oil reduce/spoil its effectiveness as an antibacterial/candida killer?

Thanks!
