Lauric and caprylic acids are NOT Omega-3s. Rather, they are medium chain fatty acids, all saturated. This gave coconut oil a bad reputation for its supposed contribution to cardiovascular disease. More recently, these MCFAs are under investigation for their potential benefits in the amelioration, possibly prevention of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Please have your facts checked before you give advice to patients. There is no point in copying inaccurage information others are spilling all over the internet.
