Re: Coconut oil is entirely MCT


Go to futurescience - the article is written in 99, and frankly I don't trust it, e.g.:

> But 14.9 percent of coconut oil is MCT oil and another 48.5 percent is C-12 fat. The C-12 fat is classified as an MCT.

A blatant contradiction. 14.9% of coconut oil is MCT, and yet 48.5% is C-12 (Lauric acid) which is an MCT!!!

Heres is a more realistic breakdown of coconut oil I got from one website:

C8 ...... 8.86 (Caprylic)
C10......6.17 (Capric)
C12......48.83 (Lauric)
C14......19.97 (Myristic)
C15......Traces (0.01)
C16.......7.84 (Palmitic)
C18.......3.06 (Stearic)
C18:2 ....0.76
C18:1.....4.44
C20........0.05 (Arachidic)

Now C8, C10,C12 are all MCTs. I'm not sure if C14 is classified as an MCT. Even if not, that still leaves the majority of coconut oil being composed of MCTs.
