0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast.
0:07.4	Where Dr. Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing
0:11.3	healthy weight.
0:13.4	So, is MCT oil actually good or bad for your liver?
0:27.0	Now, I've done other videos talking about how bad omega-6 fatty acids are for your
0:32.3	liver because, for example, soy oil, corn oil, cotton seed oil, canola are all highly

1:39.0	So it goes right into the body, it turns into ketones.
