A member asked:

Will mcts raise the overall triglyceride levels in the blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Over all triglyceride level could go up. But mcts get metabolized quicker than long chain triglycerides. After metabolism it behaves like carbohydrates. Hence mostly it is not stored in fat cells.
