Can someone explain to me what this is, and how it affects your body? This is the take I have on it-

MCT's are typically burned as energy and show little or no propensity for storage as body fat or as a contributer to arteriosclerosis.

Is this stuff ok for you? I am taking a drink every morning that has 4-5 grams of it, and was kind of curious about it... :)

Your analysis is exactly correct. You can buy MCT fuel(twinlab has sold it for years). These are mainly the fats that a supplement like Muscle Milk contains also.
