Coconut milk is essentially water and fat from the coconut. Maybe

some nutrients. But it's the fiber from the coconut that makes it

advanced. And that is not present.

I asked Marilyn once why coconut fat was okay early on but not

coconut milk and IIRC, she said that Elaine was worried that someone

might come to over-rely on that product. So, with that in mind,

as long as an awareness is present not to overuse it, I think it is

okay, unless someone knows another reason not to use it.

Marilyn?? Anyone??
