When I developed a heart problem I had some advice about diet. I am
supposed to eat lots of fruit..... NOT COCONUT. When I had a
consultation with the dietitian we talked about it and she dismissed all
the positive stuff on various web sites about the health benefits of
coconut as being from the promoters of coconut sales.

It's a dmaned shame because I like curries made with coconut milk.
