Hope it helps!

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 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.

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.

So, this one may help http://dauduanguyenchat247.com/Tinh-dau … 56-2.html.
Kind of coconut oil for cooking.

Seems the site is on weekend break

Olive oil i read it has many heatlh benefits compared to other oils.. red wine is good too but it contains suplhates ? im no expert here but i guess in moderation ?

THANK YOU ADMIN & TECH SUPPORT for (mostly) fixing the "activity" function!

I was able to locate what I believe was the very first post by my "twin-sister" Ciambella (who is still alive and well, though inactive in the forum).

The only glitch still remaining is that clicking on her activity link for this post takes me to the main thread link, not to her individual post.

But I'm not calling for a fix... I'd hate to break what we've got.

Cheers!

Still, vastly inferior to how our activity had been displayed/accessible.

"Fixed" is what wasn't broken.
