The Insane Health Beneftis of MCT Oil | Dr. Steven Gundry

[@MrDJH3]

Here is a summary of the key points: - MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglyceride oil. It contains fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils that have medium chain lengths of 6-12 carbon atoms. - The best MCT for ketogenic effects is caprylic acid (C8), followed by capric acid (C10). Caprylic acid has the strongest ketogenic effect. Coconut oil contains mostly lauric acid (C12) which does not have ketogenic effects. - When consumed, MCTs are absorbed directly into the liver and converted into ketone bodies. This is different than other fats which enter the lymphatic system first. - Ketones produced from MCTs signal mitochondria to produce more of themselves (mitogenesis) and uncouple, wasting energy as heat. This protects and repairs mitochondria. - MCTs can induce ketosis even when carbohydrates are consumed, making them useful for various diets or conditions requiring ketones like epilepsy. - Start with 1 teaspoon of MCT oil and increase slowly, as women can be more sensitive to side effects like nausea. Powders may be better tolerated. - MCT oil benefits brain health and can be useful for those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's gene. It is preferred over coconut oil for these individuals. - When possible, mix MCT oil with healthy fats like olive oil for additional benefits from polyphenols. Start slowly to avoid intolerance.

Not only the people in Papua New Guinea, but also my great grand mother, her 3 daughters and 2 sons lived into their 90's up to 100 years old. They were high consumers of coconut oil and other coconut products. And they were among the hardest (physical) workers you will ever know. In recent years I have been consuming coconut oil regularly. So far, despite a couple lousy doctors I am up to 82+ with older sisters and brother. Coconut is good stuff.

Growing up in the 60's & 70's, there was no discussions on nutrition, so all we did was have normal breakfast, lunch & dinner, and that's how we lived.... My grandmother (on my side) lived to 95... and neither of them spoke of longevity tricks other than telling us to NOT smoke or do drugs and to NOT drink too much alcohol, but that's about it... Well, I took their advice as I grew up to adulthood, so I NEVER took drugs or smoked, and I rarely drink alcohol at maybe 1 drink a month or less because I just don't like the dizzy feeling even after 1 drink, so I avoid alcohol.... So during the 80's & 90's, I just never entertained all this nutrition science stuff and just lived life normally, but I was aware of eating healthy & exercising, so I did, but sure, I ate unhealthy things too... I guess it just wasn't a factor so long as I looked & felt good.... Well, here we are in 2024 and I'm turning 60 years old in August, and I will say that I'm FINALLY taking in all this advice.

Dr Gundry's answer is yes it's ok to have a tablespoon of coldpressed organic olive oil with a tablespoon or two of MCT Oils C8, C10 ONLY. The other MCT Oils DO NOT actively work together mitochondria uncupling KNOR DO NOT build Ketones. He explains how and why. A good handy followup to ASEA Redox Molecules REDOX 5 previous post today.

I've been using MCT oil every now and then I've also been a chainsmoker for the past 46 years it was very hard for me to quit when I finally kicked the habit i was so congested all the time I couldn't breathe I will never start smoking again

So, if I'm trying to gain weight I should not use MCT oil, right?

[@keilana6]

Me too. My weight is low, not gaining.

[@robin5088]

Do you have to seriously count the saturated fat content of MCT oils as you usually would? Or can they be neglected?

[@beebop9808]

I usually just take a teaspoon or so of MCT. I find nothing offensive about it. Sometimes get a tiny hit of coconut on a clean palate but I love coconut which I don't get much anymore.

[@venganzamujer354]

Thank you for discussing MCT vs Coconut oil AND how it pertains to APOE 4. A podcast on APOE would be helpful.
