MCT & Coconut Oil

MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides, an oil that is naturally found in coconut oil.According to Dr. Laurie Cullen at the Women's Institute, when MCTs are absorbed into the blood stream, they bypass the digestion process that longer chain fats go through. MCT's provide quick energy for the body and are thus less likely to be stored in the fat cells. Adding MCT and Coconut Oil has been linked to the maintenance of a healthy body weight.
