i think coconut oil, milk, may have some laxative affects. i've only cooked with milk and drank water. fresh coconut water is best but to cut one open is not easy. at least the road side vendors in Mexico with machetes don't make it look that easy.
The coconut milk itself doesn't have the laxative effect but the water does.
Every time I go to Mexico I stuff myself with coconut flesh/water sooo delish.
Me thinks that some people is confused about the diference between coconut milk and coconut water.
Migangelo, where in Mexico?
