Yes. Coconut milk is Not a dairy product and adds a rich creamy texture to Asian, African, Caribbean, Indian, Pacific Islander, and Jamaican cuisines, just to name a few. Coconut milk is high in potassium and saturated fat but its a saturated fat that is actually good for you, according to Mary Enig, fellow of the American College of Nutrition In Silver Spring, Md. The fat in coconut milk contains Lauric and Capric acid which have powerful antiviral and antifungal proprieties.

No. The fat content of milk (whole, 2%, 1%, or non-fat) has nothing to do with reducing the amount of lactose or milk proteins in milk. Return to FAQs See similar questions...

Yes. The large proteins, such as lactose, are filtered out during the extraction process. Are transfer factors made of sugars, proteins or fats? Isolated transfer factors have been determined to be a chain of small peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The immune system is challenged during times of stress. Because of this, additional support through supplementation may promote a healthy immune system. See similar questions...

No. Lactose intolerance is caused by a decrease in the body’s production of lactase. Lactase is an enzyme that helps you digest lactose, natural milk sugar. The most common symptoms are swelling, cramps and diarrhea. A milk allergy, on the other hand, is a reaction to the protein present in milk. See similar questions...

It depends on which one it is. If you are lactose intolerant, it means you cannot digest lactose, and all mammals' milk (human, cow, goat, mouse, dolphin, etc.) contains lactose, so you would respond to goat milk the same way you respond to cow milk. If you are allergic to cow milk, chances are very good that you may be able to drink goat milk. The protein in cow milk is very hard to disgest, because calves go hours between nursing.

Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid whey protein concentrates as they usually contain lactose and the amount can vary greatly from product to product. See similar questions...

Coconut Cream Concentrate, on the other hand, has NO water, and is pure coconut. Unlike the commercial varieties, it also contains ALL the fiber of the coconut. See similar questions...
