“But there's ones with longer chains that seem to be protective. There's ones with shorter chains that seem to be protective. And one example of that is what people call MCTs, medium-chain triglycerides. Those are 8, 10, 12 carbon saturated fats or MCTs, and those seem to be metabolically protective.”
“fat on cholesterol. But you also mentioned shorter carbons like C12, MCTs. Coconut oil would be a prime example that it's in coconut oil.”
“And so their net effects would be even potentially protective. And there have been randomized trials of MCTs, not huge trials, not well, super well-done trials, but there have been several trials showing benefits of giving MCT oils. And then in terms of the milk, fat, globule, membrane, so this is naturally present so that the fat and water don't mix, right?”
“You just don't want to eat too close to bedtime. Correct. Okay. What about these MCTs, medium chain triglycerides? These were very popular in the health and kind of biohacking space a few years ago. The whole bulletproof coffee notion, MCTs, butter coffee.”
“He had done prior work on this. But what we did was use purified MCT oil. So this is only liquid oil that contains 8-carbon and 10-carbon chain fatty acids.”
“Yeah. A couple of women felt it gave them headache. Just the smell of it, you know. So with the MCTs, big significant increase in thermic effect of food? That was statistically significant. Yeah. It was about 45 to 50, 60 calories.”
“per day over a certain period of time. We did find changes in body composition, improvements in weight status with medium chain triglyceride consumption. Lean mass to fat matter. Yeah. Interesting. And then we did a follow-up study of a weight loss study with medium-chain triglyceride.”
