I wanted to address the question, does MCT oil lead to higher levels of cholesterol?

The answer is a big fat. No, it won't. In fact, there are some studies that show that it will

lower your cholesterol. Why? Because it can increase your bile, increases the bile flow.

In order to increase bile, you need certain fats. So bile is essential in dealing with excess

cholesterol. It helps to break it down and actually push it through into the intestines and out

through the body. Virgin cod liver oil is 55% MCT oils and there's some data that shows that it

too can potentially lower your cholesterol. Now, other studies will show that MCT oil and coconut

oil won't increase it or decrease it. It has no effect. So, it really depends on the other

variables. But what happens to the MCT oil once you consume it? Is it breaks down quick?

It goes right to the liver and it turns into ketones to give you energy. I always recommend MCT oil

in the transition phase as you get into ketosis to help you fast longer. So, some people put it

in their coffee. It's very satisfying. So, your hunger will go down. It also will help give you

more energy, specifically more brain energy and less brain fogs. If given the choice between glucose

and ketones, the brain will go after the ketone. And so, when you take MCT oil,

you're going to feel like your cognitive function is better. You have more endurance and you'll

need less naps. And if you're exercising, MCT oil can help you go longer because you have more

energy. Hey, before you go real quick, I have a course entitled How to Bulletproof Your

Immune System. It's a free course. I want you to take it. And here's why. Here's you.

Here is your environment. Everyone is focused on this topic here, avoiding your environment.
