What are the physical effects of ingesting super-huge amounts of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil (say, 10-16 fluid ounces at one sitting)? If one consumes a titanic aemount in their daily diet (say, 35 fluid ounces per day), will they get sick and vomit, or will they get fat? |

Gastrointestinal problems are a common side effect for 50-85gms per day. So the doses you are proposing will definitely have short term health consequences in terms of gastrointestinal problems. This may cause vomiting and would be detrimental to health and wellbing of the person consuming such volumes. Read the links below. In one the suggestion is as little as 30g per day will cause GI upset. "High consumption of medium-chain triglycerides can cause abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea" "Long-term high-level MCT consumption is associated with increased risk of heart disease and other conditions. Even moderate consumption of medium-chain triglycerides can increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Therefore, no more than 10% of a person's diet should come from MCTs." http://www.deliciouslivingmag.com/healthnotes/healthnotes.cfm?org=nh&lang=EN&ContentID=2882007 http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_5_7/ai_94159012 http://encyclopedias.families.com/medium-chain-triglycerides-1313-1316-gea2 |
