Information found on livingstrong.com. Search: "sources of medium chain triglycerides"

I still doubt that medium chain fatty acids can target/reduce belly fat. If you search on Wikipedia it says there are studies that favor both sides of the argument. Regardless of that, I favor extra virgin olive oil because it's rich in antioxidants. Olive oil also contains a small amount of saturated fat which the body needs for certain functions.

What about short chain fatty acids? Short chain fatty acids are said to be good for your colon. I'm not worried about this because it's synthesized by intestinal bacteria from dietary fiber. (A vegan diet provides lots of fiber.)
Are you pulling my chain.....
