Medium and short-chain fatty acids Re: Back to Duncan

[Guest guest]

Chart was interesting to me. I just got more coconut oil finally (a gallon

this time), so I plan to do that on much more regular versus sporadic basis

that I have been doing. I do consume butter, but I¹m wondering if I need

more regularity to it as well? (butter and coconut oil were the only fats I

used for everything until I purchased red palm a few days ago, but so far

I¹m only liking the red palm for topical use)

What is your experience or what do you think? Do you have butter daily?

Could you review for me again, the reasons why it is so important that we

get medium and short-chain fatty acids nearly every day. I have read this

section more than once in Dr. Fife¹s book and in some other sources, but I¹m

needing a refresher again, I discover. I would like to know it so well that

I can share it readily.
