    Okay, so I have both coconut milk and coconut oil. I was comparing the nutrition facts and 1 tbsp of the oil had much greater fat than the milk. 1 cup of the milk was 5g fat and sat fat. So one TBSP of that would obviously be >5g. However, the oil was 14g fat and 12g sat fat. Ive been using the milk for my MCTs because it mixes ten times better than the oil. So I'm curious if I have the wrong brand of coconut milk or something? It says original and pure organic coconut milk. I always stress the minor details. Helppppp

    My coconut milk has 22g Fat for half a cup, my heavy whipping cream has 5g Fat per TBSP. I use 2 TBSP coconut milk and one TBSP Heavy whipping cream. Just an FYI, your mileage may vary.

    Mine obviously isn't right.. It's the only kind they carry around here. Do you order yours?

    You must be getting the cartons in the refrigerated section?  The canned stuff is what you want.

    +1Carton stuff is reduced fat, ya' know, "healthy".Get the canned stuff, just make sure it doesn't say "light" on the can.

    Yup, my stuff is in cans, I went to GNC cough, I hate GNC, big truenutrition.com formerly trueprotein.com guy. But needed some isolate until my order came in and the guy was clueless because I asked for MCT oil and he had not one clue, lol.
