I know that in Bicol where my Uncle (by affinity) comes from, they cook virtually everything with coconut milk day in and day out. He is still alive and kicking after 79 years. I have been told several times that it is also high in cholesterol but I've always been inclined to believe that it was the good cholesterol, so I believe that as long as it is in moderation, it does something good to you.<br><br>Same with avocado. When I was young, we had an avocado tree that gave us the biggest fruits I've seen ever. We used to mash them with our forks, complimented with sugar and evap or Liberty condensada. Oh, those days were good. Until I moved to North America did I hear that they were actually high in cholesterol. I cannot seem to comprehend kaya lang ang aking curiosity talaga nangingibabaw. For sometime, I stopped consuming them but then my kids always reminded me that everytime we went home to the Philippines, it was one of their favorites. Lately, I've been reading that they are the good kind of cholesterol..pheww!! Now I am back to eating them pero siempre in moderation always.<br><br>I could go on and on. One of my favorite stories to my kids is that when I was young I resented so much about the fact that my mother never bought vegetables from the market. Rather, whenever she felt like eating green leafy vegetables, she'd go to our backyard and she'd be back with talbos ng kamote, lima beans, baong hukay na bunga ng kamote. The only things we bought from the market were meat and fish. Somehow I thought it was healthier to buy them from the market. How wrong I was! Well, til next time.betsygnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-91566657514402047592004-06-24T22:38:00.000-05:002004-06-24T22:38:00.000-05:00Yes, I agree that all the hype about coco-based pr...Yes, I agree that all the hype about coco-based products are unhealthy has to do with marketing competition.<br><br>I love coconuts. From the sweet meat and water to everything that are produced out of them. Which gives me an idea.

I am sure that your hubby will love it. Lahat ng officemates ko are caucasians(ako lang ang pinoy) and you could just imagine ang excitement nila once they know na ang recipe namin for the day is Thai Curry. Di ako mahilig magtanim kaya wa ako ma share sa 'yo. Siguro okey lang sa iyo i-email ko yung picture so at least you have an idea kung anong hitsura niya. (but it will take a while bago ako magluluto nito ulit).betsygnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-44234044245721236032004-07-07T01:17:00.000-05:002004-07-07T01:17:00.000-05:00Just blog-surfing and read bayibhyap's comment...Just blog-surfing and read bayibhyap's comments about coconut milk being high in cholesterol...just wanted to correct the statement-there is no cholesterol in coconut milk or coconut oil for that matter..a tip from my lecturer(i'm a food science student) is anything that does not have a liver will not contain cholesterolbrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414325633516275943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-4357808224155158852004-07-09T16:51:00.000-05:002004-07-09T16:51:00.000-05:00Makes sense Bren.
