Today I will share the latest thing to hit my taste buds: coconut milk. Not only is this creamy substance sweet and delicious, it is also a great source of fat! Not to mention it has a very low Glycemic load, giving it 2 thumbs up from Dr. Sears.
It is anti-carcinogenic, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral. The main saturated fat that it contains, lauric acid, is also found in mother's milk and has been shown to promote brain development and bone health. –wisegeek.com
Its very versatile adding just a hint of sweetness to any dish, among the most common are soup and curry. And for those of us with a sweet tooth this is the perfect fix for those post meal cravings.
My favorite dessert concoction:
1 cup Blueberries (or fruit of choice)
1/3 cup chilled Coconut Milk
Cinnamon
Almonds (optional)
***Note: TJ's sells a “light” canned coconut milk that contains less fat and 0 carbs for less than a buck! Get some!

Boooo... Low glycemic loads? Does Barry Sears look like he eats a diet that could be called "low glycemic?" No ma'am. The secret to unlocking the Zone is do the opposite of what is recommended by the Zone diet books. It apparently is working for Dr. Sears.
I do like the title of this post, "Loco for Coco." Personally, I'd like to see your next post entitled "Loco for Coca." That would be truly interesting.
coconuts were one of my main sources of hydration when I was on my own island in panama, no lie! Coconuts and beer.
Also Coco Milk is a medium-chain-triglyceride, and,like all tropical oils has only 7 calories per gram rather than 9.

However I am fairly certain that your statement that It is "anti-carcinogenic, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral" is a hippy fantasy.
