Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Duncan, Will appreciate if you can review contents of Solgar whey as advertized on vitacost.com Thanks, Agnes From: Duncan Crow <duncancrow@...> Subject: Re: Choice of Fats Coconut Oil Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 12:32 PM Â Hi , When I investigated coconut oil in the context of ketone body formation I found a large amount of ketone bodies are derived from butyric acid, which is a component of butter and also made in the gut by probiotic organisms. I know evidence of synergy can be seen some supplements, but I haven't run into such evidence on the oils because they are fuels as opposed to being catalysts of some biological action. I think the reason is that they are broken down for energy by mechanisms that don't rely on each other. If you do find evidence of syngergy of mixed oils compared to the same oils consumed separately, please post them. I think what we're more likely to see is an effect of metabolic increse for example with the MCT oils, supported by adequate nutrition to make the most of and support the increased metabolic effect. This isn't synergy but it is complementary. all good, Duncan >I know there has been discussion regarding lauric acid in this forum. I think it has a synergistic effect when consumed within a whole food context as in VCO or breast milk. Some substances are benefit producing as part of a symbiosis of elements but taken in isolation show less than optimal results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
