Re: MCT oil vs. other olive oil?

[Guest guest]

Ann

I would think they are different, but it all depends on what your

using it for? constipation or fat calories? I read somewhere that

mct oil is given instead of fats. But you seem to be giving olive

oil instead. Some one help me out here please? I'm getting more and

more confused over the oil. We have been on this site for a few

months waiting for the diet to begin. I am (like someone else had

said) arming myself with as much information that I possibly can. If

I have been given the correct information, we should be starting on

the diet by next month at the latest. And boy, we'll I still need all

the help I can get.

Arwr and ,

A good site on MCT oil:

http://www.neonatology.org/ref/meds/med62.html

This oil is easy to digest...but is still a saturated fat...but so

is fatty meat, butter, cream,regular yogurt, ghee(clarified

butter),corn oil, palm oil, lard, whole milk...so if there is a

problem with digesting fats this would be the oil to use it seems.

Also...a site touting the great benefits of MCT oil...

http://www.piccadillybooks.com/books/item0056.html

This oil is not recommended to replace all the oils in the

diet...which makes sense...the keto kids really need the Omega-

3s...also not to be used for frying...but none of us would fry

anything for them anyway...explains to start slowly...next..

http://www.iherb.com/mctoil.html

Health food stores should carry the oil.

Flax seed oil is an Omega-3, should be fresh (at health food

storesin the refrig section), and kept refrigerated...the ground

seeds if vacuum packed when you buy them and kept refrigerated are

even better.

Salmon, tuna , and even sardines, canned w/ bones (crush them up),

are also good source of Omega-3 fats

Polyunsaturated fats:...pumpkin seeds

walnuts

almonds...organic, fresh, ground up and put

in foods are good also.

Monounsaturated fats are olive oil...and for autism, rice bran oil

http://autismcoach.com seeds

Trans Fats are BAD...hydrogenated veg oils, stick margarine, tub

margarine...do butter

From what I see with all this searching is :

A combination of saturated and polyunsaturated and monounsaturated

and Omega-3 fats are ok...

If there are liver problems, MCT would be the oil/fat of choice...

because there would be impaired fat metabolism, so medium chain

triglycerides here...limit salt...

I have some sites about liver disease and dietary info.

I read someone...about avacado...great...mashed great way of getting

fat in...mixing...is an unsaturated fat...one is about 300cal and 30

gram of fat..mmm.

I have some sites about fats that are great if anyone is interested.

Healthy fats are:grass fed meat

almonds (can grind to add)...taste good

macadamia nuts

avacado

olive oil

coconut oil (beneficial medium chain fatty acids)

walnuts

Cholesterol...eggs (can use new DHA eggs)

cream

cod liver oil

Another food count site is:

http://ww.foodcount.com/Index.cfm?

Method=Diet.Details & FoodDes_SurveyCode=82103500

Another site praising MCT is:

http://www.preventionisbest.com/saturatedfat.html

A good site about the bad..bad...bad Trans-fats:

http://www.mynchen.demon.co.uk/The%20ketogenic%20diet/Understanding%

20the%20ketogenic%20diet/Trans-%20fats.htm

An informative site about butter and margarine...very simply

explained:

http://www.mychen.demon.co.uk/The%20ketogenic%20diet/Understanding%

20the%20ketogenic%diet/Butter%20and520margarine%20

Kidneys also play a role in fat metabolism...

This stuff really gets complicated...a blend of oils...as much veg as

can be tolerated with the diet...

Hope this info is helpful...I just get soooo full...looking for my

daughter and granddaughter, Kiara, 2, IS, CVI,CP, Ep, dev del, keto

soon.

I really appreciate everyones info on this site as well.
