Mct oil and gastric sleeve
MCT oil should not completely replace all dietary fats, as this would result in a deficiency of essential fatty acids. If a MCT diet is necessary, the essential fatty acids should be included in the regimen [2, 10]. In case of poor response to this treatment, partial or total parenteral nutrition can be considered. MCT vs. coconut oil. Is MCT the same as coconut oil? No. Even if it’s made from coconut, it’s going through additional refinement (fractionation) to isolate the medium chains. Before even comparing the nutritional benefits, some argue that coconut oil is better than MCT fat because it’s natural. In reality, no oils we eat are natural.
