Is it good, or at least ok, to eat one fresh coconut a day (water and flesh)? I am trying to go primal but I do not want to be overdoing on the fats….

thanks for the demo. I have two questions regarding coconut milk:

1) do you use the jelly meat of a young green coconut or the dryer meat of a mature coconut? I’ve heard the meat of young green coconut is richer in nutrients, as is the water

2) how do they get the canned coconut milks to be so thick? it just seems so creamy.. are the using young or mature coconuts? and i guess very little water?

Thanks.

I also love coconut! Coconut water is a great drink anytime of the year. But getting to the water is a real workout for me.

Btw, I also wrote about the Benefits of Coconut at:

Hi Mark,

I recently wrote an article on the benefits of coconut, specifically coconut oil, as well. Many people are not are of it’s “magical properties”. It’s a bummer that for so long coconuts and coconut oil, although incredibly nutritious, have gotten a bad rap due to the saturated fat content. I am glad that a new light is being shed on the topic and more people are becoming aware.

If you are interested in checking out the article, here is the link: http://livewell360.com/2008/08/coconut-oil-the-magic-potion/
