BF2S Forums Coconut Milk

I am posting this in DST because I want someone to prove it wrong.  I have started drinking coconut milk because I believe in the health benefits of it, especially compared to regular milk.  The concern of coconut milk in the past was the saturated fat.  But, according to most things I read, that fat is actually good for you.  That seems odd to me but what do I know.  Before I make it a staple in my diet I am curious if anyone can shed some light on it.

Some fat is good for you, even saturated fat. I try to avoid dairy as I seem to have some intolerance to it, and there are various theories which suggest adults shouldn't drink milk at all. I can't taste the difference between cow an soy milk, and barely have any of either.
Butter is fine though.

Everything in moderation, and if you lead an active life it doesn't matter too much if you consume a certain amount of fat.
eg My cat had a bowl of cream or evaporated milk and a whipped egg every day and made it to 17 without gaining an ounce of fat so there.

Lauric acid is the main acid in coconut oil and in palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil), and is believed to have antimicrobial properties. It is also found in Human breast milk (6.2% of total fat), cow's milk (2.9%), and goat's milk (3.1%).

what the fuck is wrong with regular milk?

Humans weren't meant to drink the milk of animals or some such vegan bs...

not drinking milk is about as dumb as taking vitamin tablets. if you eat a normal diet, taking pills is completely pointless.

I just ordered some multivitamins because I'm a picky eater. I never have energy so I'm giving it a go.

ur dumb, dick!

No I need chewables because I can't swallow pills.

That and fuck going to the store is 2011

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.

it pisses you off that people don't eat/drink the same foods as you?  ok br0

it pisses me off that so called libertarians care so much about what people choose to eat.

I really don't give a rats ass. I drank about a half gallon a day as a kid and it didn't do anything to me aside from aiding my growth during puberty. I don't drink much of it now outside of my coffee but I wouldn't turn down a glass if offered.

Edit - unless you're a vegan, stop pushing their message, because that's exactly where it originated. Who gives a fuck about inter-species milk drinking? Do you not enjoy cheese? I know I do.

actually people that aren't vegans raise a good point about the condition dairy cows are raised in, the hormones they are given to produce more milk and whether those hormones when passed to humans through milk consumption have any negative health effects...it's not just vegans.  You really come across as a dense little fucker sometimes g@lt.

Excess milk consumption might cause lactose intolerance, and you don't have to be vegan to have an interest or opinion on food production.
