“I had a bad reaction to mct oil. Don’t use it and don’t need it for keto. You can get all the benefits of keto and avoid a lot of ‘keto’ products. Mental and physical. Spend your money on good meat and vegetables and healthy fats. Whole Foods, not the grocery store is the best recommendation for most and will save a a lot of money. My food bills are a 1/3 of what they used to be now that I removed ‘keto’ labeled products.”

“It's WAY too much hype, and NO substance. There's nothing bad about it, but it's just another kind of fat. It doesn't do any more or less to promote ketosis. It might be worth the expense for a vegan doing keto, as keto vegans often struggle to get enough fat to function within the carb limits on a veg-only diet. But there's no known actual benefit for omnivore keto people.”

“Diarrhea the first time I tried a teaspoon. Lots and lots of diarrhea. I missed work. Never again. I’ve eaten keto for 8 nonstop years now without it, it’s not necessary. Empty fat calories won’t help if weight loss is your goal either. Get your calories from nutrient dense whole foods instead and eat at a deficit if weight loss is your goal. 👍🏻 And the general consensus with regard to fasting is that calories break a fast. “Fat fast” is really more of an oxymoron than anything else imo, but that’s always being debated in subs like r/fasting and r/intermittentfasting so it may be worth reading through posts!”

“OMG I read that ages ago and it was the funniest thing I've ever read! That top reviewer has a gift of storytelling! BTW they discontinued the gummy bears bc of the gastro problems they caused, but the review lives on reddit [For your reading pleasure](https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonreviews/comments/11otwx0/the_horror_that_is_haribo_sugarfree_gummi_bears/)”

“For hot yoga, key is hydration, plenty of electrolytes, and taking breaks when you need them. I do gently heated yoga (90F) most days. Mct oil probably not going to be a magic energy boost, and also risks extra trips the bathroom!”

“I ended up in hospital with acute non-viral hepatitis for a week, after taking a caffeine pill that happened to have a load of green tea extract in it, on a regular basis, rare reaction apparently.”

“Thank you for this anecdote. An important qualifier to the linked article is "338mg per day as a supplement *with normal liver function*". All too often people will use the number as gospel and forget all the statement conditions. Based off my experience in the supplement industry, it is always a rare reaction to green tea extract that makes headlines.”

“[brand removed] is quality company that I would usually go to first. However I would advise you to do some research on the safety of this and egcg. Just be careful and maybe take breaks or alternate days”
