About 5 years ago started to all kinds of weird allergies, milk, soy, *gasp* hops. Got tested an everything. Milk was the easiest to give up, hops, not much . Nut I pretty much drink bourbons or scotches anymore.
Went through finding a milk substitute, eventually just gave up it.
Well, that's completely reasonable. I just take issue with people that give up foods for no damn good reason. Like eating gluten free when you don't have celiac disease. Or refusing to drink cow's milk even though you aren't lactose intolerant. It just smacks of ignorant silliness.
There is a school of thought that we shouldn't be drinking milk after weaning. Evolutionarily speaking, animals didn't really drink anything besides water after getting off the teat. There's also some other hangups about how it is from an entirely different species, too, but you can read about it yourself.

@op: The saturated fat in coconut milk isn't hydrogenated, and is easy to metabolize. A lot of propaganda against things like coconut oil were motivated by money rather than concern for your health. Just treat coconut milk and cooking with coconut oil the same way you'd balance everything else in your diet (if you do). I assume you exercise.
If it's not hydrogenated, then it's not saturated fat.
