Medium Chain Fatty Acid
There are three different types of fatty acids: short chain, medium chain and long chain.
Most of the fatty acids we consume in North America are in the medium or long chain groups.
Long chain fatty acids are made up of more carbon atoms than medium – it's part of the physical appearance.
They take longer to move through your body, and have more atoms to break down before they can turn into energy.
This increases the chance that they'll turn into fat.
Foods that are made up of medium chain fatty acids are shorter, smaller, more easily absorbed by the body,
and are burned faster while containing fewer calories. Less of the fatty acids become fatty tissue.
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is made up of medium chain fatty acids.
One of the primary benefits of virgin coconut oil is that it is easily digested and does not stay in the body for long periods of time.
