Which has more saturated fat cow’s milk or coconut’s milk?

You can look that up on nutritiondata.com - great website!

I looked it up and coconut milk has a lot more saturated fat than whole milk, but a much healthier version.

So, the coconut milk is not healthier than cow’s milk because it gives out a lot of saturated fat. How can you say it’s healthy?

That’s what I also know. Coconut milk has more cholesterol and saturated fat content than cow’s milk. For the best, avoid eating food with coconut milk.

We need saturated fats - they have been a natural in our diet since caveman days. We don't need transfats - a very unnatural recent invention that our bodies don't know what to do with. Don't fall for the out of date government backed propaganda. They used to lump them together in studies and gave them both a bad name. Go to the Weston A Price Foundation's website and search for saturated fat and you will find great articles. Reducing the intake of saturated fats has not helped to make us healthier, it has made us more unhealthy. Here is an excerpt from one article:

How much total saturated do we need? During the 1970s, researchers from Canada found that animals fed rapeseed oil and canola oil developed heart lesions. This problem was corrected when they added saturated fat to the animals diets. On the basis of this and other research, they ultimately determined that the diet should contain at least 25 percent of fat as saturated fat. Among the food fats that they tested, the one found to have the best proportion of saturated fat was lard, the very fat we are told to avoid under all circumstances!

Do some research and read up on the topic.

Is omega fatty acid considered a saturated fat?

Omega fatty acids are an unsaturated fat, which are very important for us also.

This is from Mercola's website:

All food fats are a blend of the different types, saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fats include poly- and monounsaturated fats. omega-3s and 6s are types of polyunsaturated fats, called essential because we have to get them from food, our bodies can't manufacture them from other fats.

Is it true that there are risk in taking omega 3 and 6 fatty acid?

It is true that you can overdo anything, but normally there is no risk from taking Omega 3s. We don't usually need to take Omega 6, because it is already in our diet so much. A recent study showed that just taking an omega 3 fatty acid blood test was a better predictor of heart attack than anything else. Meaning that the lower your levels, the more chance of having a heart attack. Jonny Bowden had an article on this recently.

Have you tried this Karen?

Tried what? Taking Omega 3 supplements? Yes, I have.

Yes, omega 3. Did your cholesterol level go down?

I don't believe cholesterol count predicts heart attacks, so my cholesterol count doesn't bother me. I am trying to get my doctor to check my omega 3 levels and I know my cholesterol particle size is good.

High cholesterol reading can lead to heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. Cholesterol also clog's the blood vessel and thus create heart attack. That's why we need to check our cholesterol level. Is there a way to count the omega 3 level?

Please point me to one study that verifies this. The latest studies show that cholesterol count is not a good predictor. Better predictor's are the ratio of HDL to tryglycerides, omega 3 levels, the size of your cholesterol particles, and I think there are others. I always come out good on these measures. Jonny Bowden has sent out some good articles on this recently. A heart surgeon Dr. Dwight Lunden is now saying inflammation is at the heart of heart disease and not cholesterol.
