Hi, thanks for the answer but I am actually looking for MCT oil as an ingredient for cooking. I did not realise it was also a body building supplement.

Regards,

MCT Oil = ????

MCT is extracted and refined from coconut and palm oi, so why not using coconut oil directly? Approximately 62% - 65% of the fatty acids in coconut oil is MCT; coconut oil is more natural, less expensive, and available everywhere.

So, this one may help http://dauduanguyenchat247.com/Tinh-dau … 56-2.html.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. However, their are some differences. I really am no scientist and certainly not an authority on the subject. I'll be very happy to learn more but this is what I have found........... The difference between MCT oil and coconut oil is that MCT oil is more concentrated and contains different proportions of MCTs. While coconut oil certainly has MCTs in it, concentrated MCT oil is almost entirely MCTs.

That said, if coconut oil can be a substitute then it is definitely the way forward, especially here in Vietnam.

Neither am I. When it comes to health/fitness fads. I tend to rely on serious medical sources (Cleveland Clinic first, then Mayo Clinic and WebMD) while bypassing all lifestyle-gurus-for-the-stars and mushrooming health bloggers.

Personally, I've been using only light olive oil to cook and EVOO with lemon juice on salads for the last 40+ years. No other kind of oil.

During our years in Italy, I had learned even more about healthy diet and healthy living from dozens of Italian physical therapists, cardiologists, and nutritionists. Their advice came down to the same two things: olive oil and red wine. Lessons at the homes of many healthy nonagenarians also reaffirmed that belief: olive oil in food, eating slowly, and walking everywhere.

It has been working very well for my spouse and me.

MCT are short chain fatty Acids no one recommend for cooking.
for cooking should use Coconut oil which has 20% short chain and rest 80% Lauric acid long chain fatty acid.

My 2 cents opinion,
(virgin) coconut oil has about 50% of Lauric acid which is great however some would rather have high content of Oleic acid (MTC), now the coconut oil has 4% of Oleic max. so what they do is suppress Lauric acid or turn it into Oleic acid, by play around with C12 and C18, this is exactly what they do to Coconut oil, they said it is the brain food. In any case I`d not mess around with the mother nature, I prefer the high content of Lauric acid as is in Virgin Coconut oil.
