Coconut milk
Is from the grated meat of a coconut and probably the tastiest of all milks. The color and rich taste of coconut milk can be attributed to the high oil content which is easily one of the healthiest oils in the world. Most of the fat is saturated fat, but it's this fat that leads to its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties. Coconut oil contains the most lauric acid of any substance on earth.
Compared to cow's milk it's easier to digest because the body uses 3 less enzymes for its digestion as opposed to cow's milk. It also contains a high level of omega 3, 6 and 9 fats along with high amounts of amino acids. This excellent combination of fats and amino acids make it a complete meal in and of itself.
The high level of omega 3, 6 and 9 fats and protein in this milk are more bio-available to humans compared to all other animal fats and most vegetable fats. This bio-availability results in the body's ability to assimilate all its nutrients.
It's very healing to the digestive tract and even heals damage done to the system in cases of IBS, Crohn's disease and severe malnutrition.
Coconut milk also helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels by being a good source of manganese. This mineral is usually deficient in people with blood sugar issues.
For all these reasons, coconut milk is #1 on my list. Please don't be fooled by coconut milk that contains "added flavor" and try to stick to pure sources.
Pasteurized milk is perhaps one of the most nutritionally deficient beverages inappropriately labeled as a "perfect food." Raw milk enthusiasts have known for a very long time that unpasteurized milk is the ONLY milk worthy of consumption. Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamins C, B12 and B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.
But it has one of the greatest advertising campaigns ever. Got milk?
Is coconut milk sold in Lucia?
