Coconuts in the whole form are a complete food. Coconut oil or coconut milk is less healthy, being refined products with some or all of the fibre removed. Nature is wise enough to make fatty foods like coconut or very sweet foods like sugarcane full of fibre. This high fibre content naturally limits our intake of them. For example, you are unlikely to get through more than one mature coconut in a day or a stalk of sugarcane. However, if you have just the refined products then it’s a lot easier to consume the milk from more than one coconut or sugar from more than a stalk of sugarcane. This is dangerous. Fibre naturally slows down the absorption of food giving us lasting energy and not being a toxic shock for the cells in our body.
