MCT Oil Capsules or Oil

MCT Oil Capsules

Looking for advice and recommendations on MCT Oil

We were told recently to add MCT Oil capsules to our child’s KETO regiment as we cannot seem to keep his daily fat content high enough, and so I basically purchased the first one I found, but now I am curious.

I settled on DietWorks MCT Oil Capsules at 1000 mg 90 soft gels. Each cap boasts 10 calories, 9 from fat (as best I can tell, 9 from saturated fat) giving a total fat of 1g (saturated fat 1g) but Medium Chain triglycerides of 1000 mg. These were the right size and price and so I bought them.

I confess I am still confused about MCT oil and how to calculate this with our overall daily fat intake (which has to be 175 g). How can I add 1000 mg of oil yet only have 1g of fat?

So like all good information seekers, I googled and found [Read more…] about MCT Oil Capsules or Oil

Mold Remediation

Mold Testing as well as Mold Remediation

(Finding Mold is Only Half the Battle)

Mold testing and mold remediation are never far from my mind. Now we have left Florida behind and are happily back in our own beds we should be elated, except the mold remains a constant headache and we must deal with that situation sooner rather than later.

Now I am back, I am determined to resolve the mold in our house that has caused some health challenges. This has been an ongoing issue for almost a year now but has become more pressing because right before I went to Florida, I had a dermatology appointment to have an area on my forehead biopsied. This area has been raising, scabbing and healing for several months but it is (or it was) time for it to go. I say was, because while we have been away, it has gone anyway. No trace of where it had been. All I can think is that staying in a house with filtered air potentially [Read more…] about Mold Remediation
