Is coconut milk healthier can cow milk?

Coconut milk has flavour and creamy consistency, it is obtained by grating and squeezing ripe coconut fruit.  Some people may use it as a substitute for dairy products especially in high fat diets.

But is it healthier than dairy products?

Although Coconut milk  contains some minerals and vitamins including several anti oxidants,  Let’s have a look at some of the side effects of coconut milk:

1. Abundant saturated fat; as 1 cup of coconut milk contains 250% of the daily safe upper limit of saturated fat, this extremely high level can lead to high blood cholesterol level. While 1 cup of full fat cow milk contains 23% of your daily saturated fat limit.

2. Can cause weight gain as it is high in calories, 1 cup of coconut milk contains about 550 kcal. While 1 cup of full fat cow milk contains 150 Kcal.

3. It is not considered as a source of calcium as 1 cup of coconut milk contains only 4% of your daily needs of calcium, while 1 cup of milk provide you with about 30% of your daily needs of calcium.

4. Can cause allergies for some persons.
