Coconut Milk - Stop Attacking It's Fat


Coconut milk is a very popular food ingredient used in Southeast Asia,
especially in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Japanese populations had lower fat intake, lower serum total cholesterol, and lower CHD than populations in the United States and Scandinavia, in spite of higher smoking rates.

So why the attack against Coconut Milk's fat...Southeast Asia people were known to be very active at one point and now suffer from obesity due to changes in lifestyle and work patterns—resulting in less physical activity and more obesity—have coincided with a surge in consumption of sugary drinks, alcohol, and tobacco. A third of South Asia's population is now classified as obese.4 These trends contribute to a “risk transition,” and a subsequent rise in hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and malignancies.

It is not fat that causes high cholesterol or obesity, but being inactive and eating and drinking fake food.

REMINDER

The highest percentage of obese and overweight people live in the Region of the Americas (United States, South American countries and associated islands): 26% of adults are obese and 62% overweight.

The lowest incidence of obesity and overweight is in the South-East Asia Region (which includes countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand): 3% obese and 14% overweight.  These are the same people who use coconut milk in their daily diet.
