Quick note for my YouTube community 💛

Coconut milk is often used for creaminess, but it’s high in saturated fat, which can raise LDL cholesterol and increase heart disease risk over time.
About 80–90% of the fat in coconut milk is saturated fat, primarily lauric acid, along with myristic and palmitic acids.
Important nuance:
Lauric acid is sometimes marketed as a “different” type of saturated fat because it can raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. However, research consistently shows it also raises LDL cholesterol. And LDL is the primary driver of atherosclerosis and heart disease risk.
So while coconut fat may raise HDL more than butter, it still raises LDL — and that matters.
Major cardiology and nutrition bodies (like the American Heart Association) classify coconut oil and coconut milk as LDL-raising saturated fats.
That’s why I created two protein-rich vegan cream alternatives for you to use instead. One is soy-free and nut-free, so there’s an option for everyone — and both give you that rich, creamy texture without relying on coconut.
