My sister gets a gag reflex when swallowing the oil but won't share a morsel of her coconut-prepared meal with anyone else, not even with her beloved pekingese toy dogs.
Don't let the direct approach to benefiting from coconut oilhold you back. The tropical world has countless mouth-watering coconut concoctions to offer you.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk or coco milk contains a good percentage of the oil. It's more versatile when it comes to food preparation and the health benefits are virtually the same.
Coco milk enables you to easily and deliciously incorporate coconut oil into your diet. It makes "an ideal substitute for dairy." And just like dairy milk, it isn't sweet so it's perfect for chowders, curries, soups and of course my favorite, desserts.
Wait a minute, sweets? Bad news for diabetics, right? Not with coconut oil, it isn't!
Good News for Diabetics
A low-fat diet is normally advised for diabetics. Unlike all other dietary fats and oils, two-thirds of coconut oil's fat molecules are made of anti-diabetes Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA).
MCFAs are able to feed your cells without the need for insulin. MCFA-rich coconut oil improves insulin secretion and sensitivity, and glucose intolerance.
