MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) is oil which the carbon number contained in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, milk, mother's milk, etc. becomes from fatty acid of 6 to 12. The medium chain triglyceride diet is effective for that reason. There is the feature that a molecule chain is shorter than the fatty acid (long chain fatty acid whose carbon number is about 18) contained in common oil, and absorption and metabolism are quick and cannot be easily accumulated as body fat by the difference in the structure. Therefor, this kind of triglycerides is useful to manage your cholesterol and proven in medical sense as well.
