Quick question. How come you can ingest MCT Oil through foods safely but you vaping it can cause pneumonia?
It has little to do with MCT Oil and more to do with vaping. Vaping pretty much any liquid can cause this if its consumed to much…
The stomach is designed to break down foods, like coconut… It’s the same hole but its not going the same place

I’m pretty sure it’s the c10 c12 lipids that cause pneumonia. I believe the additional carbon atoms make the larger chains harder to expel.

Pneumonia is an infection leading to liquid in your lungs, essentially. So, having any type of collection of fluid in your lungs is bad for you. Anything you vaporize recondeses in your lungs, so, too many lipids, too many oils, mucous, water, etc. leads to pneumonia.

There are no reports as far as I’ve researched showing any mct’s causing lipid pnuemonia when vaped. It’s a vape industry scare tactic. Long chain triglycerides have been reported to do this.
