long-chain fatty acids are not as healthy for you as the MCFAs in coconut oil:
|
|
LCFAs are difficult for the body to break down -- they must be packaged with lipoproteins or carrier proteins and require special enzymes for digestion. |
|
|
LCFAs put more strain on the pancreas, the liver and the entire digestive system. |
|
|
LCFAs are predominantly stored in the body as fat. (That's why most people buy into the myth that fats are automatically "fattening".) |
|
|
LCFAs can be deposited within arteries in lipid forms such as cholesterol. |
|
MCFAs are smaller. They permeate cell membranes easily, and do not require lipoproteins or special enzymes to be utilized effectively by your body. |
|
|
MCFAs are easily digested, thus putting less strain on your digestive system. This is especially important for those of you with digestive or metabolic concerns. |
|
|
MCFAs are sent directly to your liver, where they are immediately converted into energy rather than being stored as fat. |
|
|
MCFAs in coconut oil can actually help stimulate your body's metabolism, leading to weight loss. |
