mid chain also help bile acids regulate cholesterol and higher chain fats.

That reminds me that I have to pick up some coconut oil . I'm almost out. I've got some good bison/buffalo waiting for me at the grocery store now. I'll probably get there.

Thanks for the kind info on mct. It's been.years since I read up on coconut oil and I ve got one of the top books on it in my library. Another reminder to reread and refresh.
