Why not recommend thick coconut milk?
Because of the high fat and calories, it is not recommended to drink too much thick coconut milk. Here are some reasons:

1, high fat content: thick coconut milk contains high saturated fatty acids, including coconut oil, which is not good for heart health. Excessive saturated fat intake may increase the risk of heart disease and hypertension.

2, high calories: due to the high fat content, thick coconut milk also contains higher calories. Excessive intake may lead to weight gain and obesity.

3. Unbalanced nutrition: Compared with ordinary milk, the nutritional value of concentrated coconut milk is lower. It lacks protein, calcium, vitamin D and other important nutrients, so it cannot be a good choice to replace milk.

4, clear mind: coconut oil in thick coconut milk can produce ketone bodies, which is the fuel of the brain, but it does not mean that it can provide the required fuel. The brain prefers to get energy from carbohydrates, so excessive drinking of thick coconut milk may lead to problems such as unclear brain power and hypoglycemia.
