Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 --I'm drinking it b/c I read on a message board that it kills bacteria and yeast. It tastes like crap though. If I could find something to mix it with to mask the crappy taste, that would be great. In , " dhooten " <dhooten@a...> wrote: > Oh dear....I thought this was so FUNNY! > I almost choked on my food.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Does it have to be milk or could you just eat a fresh coconut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 --- I have lauricidin in addition to several other things. I'm trying a rapid dieoff hoping to speed up the process.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 ---I have no clue. I've heard coconut cream and coconut milk on the message boards. I bought two fresh coconuts from the grocery store and the amount of liquid I got out of each one of them was pathetically small. I think it's like " would you rather buy a gallon of orange juice or squeeze 50,000 oranges? " kind of thing. I think it's easier with the stuff that's already prepared.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I read in a magazine that coconut milk kills bacteria and in some parts is given when people have diarrhea. I would assume it would be in fresh, but I totally agree with you on the coconut squeezing thing! Debi > > Does it have to be milk or could you just eat a fresh coconut?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Jim and Debi, I've been wondering about this subject for some time, seeing as we have about 400-600 pounds of coconuts hanging around the backyard at any given time. This is what I know..... Coconut " milk " is not always the translucent fluid that comes dripping out of the center of the whole coconut when you drill or spike a hole in it. I've read that commercial coco milk is produced by taking the white meat out of the coconut shell and mashing it up with plenty of water, draining it, then letting the oil come to the surface, draining that off, then whatever is left is called " milk " . The " translucent fluid " that drains out when you drill a coconut tastes NOTHING like the commercial coconut milk that you buy. It's not NEARLY as sweet. Plus, if you saw all the bugs and bird droppings that commonly contaminate coconut insides when harvested, (I actually get a 21 foot ladder and climb the trees with my DeWalt Sawzall to get them down.....lol) you wouldn't be driven to hunger by the sight. Coconuts drop off the tree with a huge " CRASH " because of their weight, and the tops are often compromised by the fall. Plus, even as they ripen on the tree, they develop cracks where bugs can get in. Local residents often come around and want permission to cut down coconuts to sell to tourists for $8 each with a straw in them, and I just wonder if the tourists ever get to see what they're drinking!...but I digress..... I've never tried to make my own milk and oil........maybe I should, but it's so inexpensive to buy in the store, I've just never gotten around to it. Have either of you tried eating the " meat " and have it work effectively as an anti-bacterial agent? If so, maybe I should be sending these things out to list members instead of throwing them away. Thanks, OC P.S. The meat isn't all that sweet-tasting either.....so most commercial coconut products must actually have sweetener added or something.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 You can get a fresh coconut, drink the liquid (after straining) and eat the meat. The meat of the coconut is what is used to make the milk. Since I was born in the Caribbean I cannot believe anyone not liking coconut Look at the following recipe that I found on a site: Coconut Milk Coconut meat and the milk made from it are key components in Brazilian cookery. It is easy to make coconut milk from freshly grated coconut and capture the authentic taste of Brazilian dishes using it. A thick, rich milk is produced from the first squeezing of the gratings; a thinner milk is derived from a second round of squeezing. 1 coconut* 1/2 cup warm water (for thick milk) 2 to 3 cups warm water (for thin milk) Heat the coconut in a preheated oven (350 degrees F) for 10 minutes to crack the coconut. Remove the coconut from the oven (with pot holders!) and place it in a large metal bowl on the floor. Cover the bowl with a towel and hit the coconut with a hammer to break it completely open. More than one strike may be necessary. Remove the pieces of broken coconut from the bowl. Strain the coconut water (agua de cuco) that is released through a coffee filter to remove any fibers, and set aside. Separate the coconut meat from the shell, using a dull knife to pry them apart if necessary. Remove the brown skin from the coconut meat with a vegetable peeler and grate the meat in a food processor. To make the thick milk, put the gratings into cheesecloth or a clean white dish towel and hold the ends together. Soak the wrapped gratings in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl for a few minutes. Firmly squeeze the gratings over the bowl. About 3/4 cup of thick milk will be obtained. A less efficient method of making thick coconut milk is to put the grated coconut in a sieve, wet it with warm water, and press out the milk with a spoon. Thin milk is made by soaking the same wrapped gratings in 2 to 3 cups of warm water and repeating the squeezing procedure. (Use the reserved coconut water and bring the volume to 2 to 3 cups with warm water.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Why not try lauricidin? They are little pellets that do not taste like anything UNLESS you chew them. Theey are tiny and my 6 year old loves to swallow them one at a time. I just mix them in my 4 year old's supplements and he does not even notice that they are there. See www.lauricidin.com (I'm not sure if this site is right-- if it is not, just do a search for Lauricidin). Coconut Milk? > > > > > > > I just tried drinking a glass of coconut milk.

It also said coconut water can be found in the ethnic food section of the grocery store. Now whether there is any medical benefit from drinking it, I have no idea, but I just thought I'd share. I've never posted on this list before, and now that I have I can't believe it's about coconut water! :-) Kellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi Dave, I lost about 50 pounds over a year or so by eating *more* coconut oil and drinking *more* coconut milk. BTW, the coconut milk from Wilderness Family Naturals have the absolute best taste and need no sweetener to be yummy to me. http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/mall/coconut_milk.asp Alobar RE: Re: Coconut Milk? > Thanks .
