Avatar f tn Lauric Acid a Key Component to Health Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid which is abundant in coconut oil, and considered responsible for many of its health benefits. Coconut oil is about 50% lauric acid. The only other abundant source found in nature is in human breast milk. Dr. Jon J. Kabara, PhD and Professor Emeritus of Michigan State University says, "Never before in the history of man is it so important to emphasize the value of Lauric Oils.

Avatar f tn I did a little research on Coconut milk simply because I have to stay away from saturated fats such that cow milk has. Turns out Coconut milk is a wonder drug for those that live in an area where saturated fats are nearly non-existent but has far more saturated fat than cows milk. I love coconut candy, cakes, and such which is what started the research. Turns out that Almound milk is one of the best milks out there for health issues.
8480294 tn?1406317697 Coconut oil, not coconut milk. Get the organic kind, the kind that turns solid if you put it in the fridge.
907968 tn?1292622204 Reading up on canned Coconut milk, if let to stand some will separate into the milk and cream. I do love coconut but have never had coconut milk so I don't know what to expect as to weather I'll like it or not or if I'll like cream over milk or milk over cream. Any case, is there a difference for the cholesterol benefits between coconut milk -vs- cream?
Avatar n tn Coconut milk is fine. I've been using Hemp Milk (yep, that's right, Hemp Milk) as an alternative because it is dairy, soy and salt free. I couldn't believe that the rice milks all had salt in them! That annoyed me to no end! Anyway, I got Hemp Milk at Whole Foods. It's made by Living Harvest.
1026267 tn?1257591273 The only downside I know of is, coconut milk is packaged in cans, and most cans these days have been proven to contain/leach biosphenol-a. I have a recipe for coconut milk though, which is easier than almond milk.. (although I do make fresh almond milk every 2-3 days) 1 cup dried unsweetened coconut (Bobs Red Mill is one) 4 cups warm pure water Soak for 15 minutes. Strain through fine strainer.

Avatar f tn I dont drink regular milk AT ALL. But I do drink Almond, soy and coconut milk. Is that ok??
Avatar f tn Again, contrary to popular belief, soy is NOT health food. Unless you specifically have a less common health condition that leads you to NEED to supplement estrogen (NOT menopause either), soy should be avoided like the plague. There are rare exceptions that Mercola talks about, but these are meaningless to someone who is clearly allergic to soy. You have to avoid soy and be aware of what has soy in it and what doesn't even with your personal care products.

Avatar f tn Are you kidding? coconut water is the water inside the coconut! Coconut milk is made by boiling the white coconut "meat" with water and straining it and boil it down further and you get coconut cream.
Avatar n tn Hi,Im, Ok you could start weughtlifting/bodybuilding class's, drinking 3 raw eggs in a pint of milk at night, a pint of milk with your breakfast, and a pint of milk with your lunch, eat 2 bananas a day, and eat things that will bulk you up, steaks, good beef sandwichs. Cant think of much else but will keep thinking.
Avatar n tn The coconut milk in the dairy/milk section does have carrageenan in it. But if you go to the Asian section, they sell cans of coconut milk that does not have carrageenan in it and is really good! I have been using that in my coffee and also adding a little bit to my smoothies to give it a more creamy taste.
Avatar f tn No splenda. Artificial sugars are bad for you and definitely bad for baby. Mix some fresh fruit and ice in a blender it's yummy. You can add in sherbet, almond milk, or coconut milk for added taste to but it's good without it.
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard the claims that using or taking Coconut oil helps their MS? I was watching a TV program and they did a story on it. It was about Coconut oil helping people with Alzheimer's, ALS, MS and other autoimmune diseases. I was dxd w/Tic-douloureux in 1967. They didn't connect it with MS until about 19yrs ago. I was dxd with MS in '94. although I showed many signs of it since '67, living in the Northeast.
1772456 tn?1314123096 from the book it was recommended to drink the whole milk instead of powdered milk because powedered milk are added with chemicals (i forgot what it is) that give shape to the powder. Please, do post any link of coconut oil / medium chain saturated fat / lauirc acid research in relevant to hep B if you find one.
Avatar f tn And it tastes better than water and is good for you. I also like coconut water but I milk and water makes you sick you might not like that because its kind of almost like a combo of the two.
