As someone who drinks Bulletproof coffee (ala Brain Octane oil), how does this fit in? Is the concentrated coconut oil in brain octane oil also just as bad? Or is the fact that its very concentrated mean it contains less of the negative qualities?

I feel like what this article is saying is that, just guzzling oil isn't good for you, which is obvious, but in small doses, is it ok?

From the article: 100% MCTs may increase your metabolic rate, but traditional coconut oil only contains about 15% MCTs and isn't good for your health in any quantity.

ah, thanks

From what I understand, the MCT oil in Brain Octane oil is essentially just the medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil. All of the other saturated fats and so on are removed in the process, Asprey and many others give this as the reason to use MCT oil over coconut oil. It's really just a very pure form of the kind of fat the body likes, and can most easily use.

Glad you mentioned Bulletproof. Asprey said once in one of his many videos that Coconut Oil doesn't work when combined with coffee because it contains bad saturated fats which you want to avoid. It does however contain MCT, but not in the ratio you want, hence his Octane oil products which only provide the good fats that you need.

How convenient for him that only his exact products will produce the desired effect.

when you say "concentrated oil", what do you mean?

I think he means that the non-mct fats have been removed, so compared to standard coconut oil for mct, it's "concentrated".
