The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

Coconuts, Coconut Milk, Water & Oil: Healthy or Hype?

Dr. Jules Cormier (MD) Season 1 Episode 43

No single food has been as glorified or as vilified as coconuts and all its variations.  


What to make of whole coconuts, coconut water, coconut milk or coconut oil?  Some swear by their mystical healing powers, while others avoid it like the plague.  Who to believe?  Are coconuts healthy?  Let’s examine coconuts through scientific lenses and analyze the nutrients in whole coconuts, coconut milk and coconut oil and I'll try to get to the bottom of this superfood mystery.  As a personal disclaimer, I like coconuts.  Although I don’t consume them often, I do enjoy them occasionally as a whole food, and I enjoy the occasional coconut milk chickpea curry and have been known to eat coconut based ice cream here and there, although very rarely, but not because I’m scared of them.  I have simply found healthier alternatives that make coconuts unnecessary in my routine.
