- Staphylococcus- which causes food poisoning and UTI( Urinary tract infections).
Pathogenic Viruses have been inactivated partially by Lauric Acid. One of the great things about MCTs is that they reduced “bad bacteria” without harming good bacteria.
According to some research, MCTs protects from infections longer than LCTs Acids do. A study published in The Journal Of Nutritional Biochemistry found that fatty acids and monoglycerides with lengths 8-12 carbons were found to be more strong.

It’s believed that they help the body produce ketones, which gives you the same benefits as the ketogenic diet without needing to cut carbs too drastically low levels.
