all coconut products good?

since coconut oil is awesome i would think all those other natural products such as dried/grated coconut meat and coconut milk (whole) would be clean foods as well, true?

thanks

"coconut milk" that ive seen in shops is never just pulped coconut, its got sugar and other additives in it. Just check the label. Even better, buy an actual coconut, they rule

yeah i dont know how i would break the coconut without things flying around the kitchen lol

but i mean, im talking about products purely from the coconut now without any additives

so just shredded coconut or coconut milk or cream whatever without anything added, thanks very much!

i should always choose the natural whole coconut milk over the processed lowfat one right?

pierce it in its soft eye (one of the three dots is soft) and drain the fluid (drink it), then put the coconut in a bag, hold the bag and swing it into the floor/a wall, thus fragmenting the coconut and keeping the pieces in one place.

yes, coconut is "good", so removing water from it does not alter that, nor does shredding it or grating it or carving it into little balls. If nothing is added, its no different to normal coconut really, is it.

regarding low fat coconut milk, I think thats a ridiculous idea. Just as bad as low-fat cod live oil, or low fat milk infact.

EDIT: i LOVE coconut, its amazing, but a problem is its fairly high calorie density of 354/100g for the meat. Its really easy to eat a lot of it too.

yeah me too i saw it in the store i was thinking its the same type of fats as you find in coconut oil, mainly lauric acid right?

like why do all those 'experts' keep on telling others how bad those saturated fats from coconut oil are

haven't they been proved wrong yet enough or something
