It's not a resounding victory of MCTs and he doesn't discuss mechanism, but overall it sounds like MCTs probably do encourage a modest amount of weight loss. | |

| Nov 1, 2012 at 14:50 | comment | added | Stefan | As for the quality of Natural News here is a quote from this article before they fixed it (possibly based on the email i sent): ...predict the average global temperature for 2008 will be 0.37°C (32.7°F) higher than the 1961-1990 average of 14.0°C (57.2°F) . The last seven years (2001-2007) have been on average 0.44°C (32.8°F) higher than that period and 0.21°C (32.4°F) higher than 1991-2000... | |

| Oct 31, 2012 at 17:54 | comment | added | Stefan | You might be wondering why fat molecules get broken down into glycerol and fatty acids if they're just going to be rebuilt. This is because fat molecules are too big to easily cross cell membranes. So when passing from the intestine through the intestinal cells into the lymph, or when crossing any cell barrier, the fats must be broken down. Taken from science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/life/human-biology/…. This contradicts the claim in the first paragraph. | |
