The MCFA’s in coconuts are rich in lauric acid, the most important essential fatty acid in maintaining and building the body’s immune system. Apart from coconut oil, the only other source of lauric acid found in such high concentrations is human breast milk.
For the weight conscious, coconut milk provides a good source of nutrition in any weight loss regime. This is because the saturated fat molecules are made up of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids that are quickly assimilated by the body – they are not stored as surplus fat in the body like the long chain fatty acids in dairy milk.
So although coconut milk may be high in so-called saturated fat, it is a good source of nutrition in any weight loss regime because most of the fat is used up as energy instead of being stored as fat. Coconut milk contains calcium and good for your bones, it is highly nutritious, and it helps build up a strong immune system to ward off disease and illness.
Coconut milk also contains a good amount of calcium. One cup of coconut milk contains about 200 IU of calcium.
