I don/t want to be an alarmist....but I feel I should mention....be careful w/ coconut products.
WHAT I LEARNED: on a recipe site for coconut macaroons, a woman blogged she will never eat coconut again. Seems her hubby brought home a bag full of her favorite coconut macaroons.
She pigged out on the whole bag and within hours she was in intensive care. Her entire G/I system shut down and they were ready to do surgery on her after three days in I/C.
She never said why this happened. Later I read that coconut has a property that when ingested absorbs all the fluids in your system as its being digested.
I also noticed coconut water mfg also warns that drinking it might cause constipation.
It/s like everything else....eat coconut in moderation.
Geez! To lose all my bodily fluids - just like Jack D. Ripper in Doctor Strangelove! I do make coconut cake on occasion but I’ll try not to overindulge with this one. The first review didn’t sound so good so we’ll see if my guests gag on it.
