Both are fine but understanding how they differ may help. Avocado oil has healthy fat but not a lot of C8 which is specific and most likely the fastest absorbing MCT oil. MCT stand for Medium Chain Triglyceride. There are four of them named for their length. They have 6, 8, 10 or 12 carbons and each has different characteristics. C8 is called caprylic acid and is felt to the prime MCT for its quick absorption and quick conversion into ketones. BUT most of these oils hold precious little C8. So if I intentionally seek a MCT product like C8 Max it is 100% C8. Thats what i want specifically in the morning to offer my body and more specifically my BRAIN immediate energy. It can get confusing as we venture deeper into the science but you are on the right track. Don't live your life in fear of fat and work to rid the diet of excess carbs ESPECIALLY GRAINS and you will doing your health a big favor.
Dr. Huber, So do you prefer Mayo with MCT Oil over Avocado Mayo? I don’t use it a lot but interested in your opinion. Thanks so much!
