I think he means that it is a medium chain fatty-acid from a molecular standpoint, but from a biological standpoint, it it metabolized more like a long-chain fatty acid.
I apologize if I have misinterpreted Agent207.
Yes Travis thats what I had always read about mcts, but now looking at your source it seems otherwise, that the hability of bypassing lymphatic system goes somewhat proportional to the lenght of the fatty acid. Makes sense, I'll look on other sources about this to be sure. If its true, coconut oil is far more pro-metabolic than what I thought, since its not just the C8 and C10 used to make ketones, but the longer fatty acids too at some degree.
