Medium Chain Triglyceride from Coconut Oil

The medium chain triglyceride component from coconut oil offers health benefits, unlike other fats and oils from plants. MCT oil helps with weight loss, which makes it a beneficial component of phase III of the HCG diet and beyond. It even trumps other oils for cooking, especially the highly processed ones such as canola oil and corn oil and the high-smoke ones such as olive oil.

Here is an informative post on the topic that I found at the link below:

The MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) or MCT (medium chain triglycerides)  in coconut oil are different. Because of the small size of the fatty acids that make up coconut oil, they actually yield fewer calories than other fats.

All the best in natural health,
