Very. They are the only single foodstuff that it is possible to survive on without anything else. Which is why, if you are ever stranded on an island with no fresh water, provided there are coconuts, you'll be fine.

Like anything, coconuts are good in moderation, but watch out for coconut oil, as it is artery clogging and full of saturated fat.

it is good for your immune defense.
Coconut meat
Dessicated coconut provides nutrients and a source of energy for your immune defense.
It also contains the raw materials your body uses to mount its antimicrobial defense.
It contains 69% coconut fat.
Creamed coconut is similar to dessicated coconut in its nutrients and defense building blocks.
Coconut milk
Coconut milk also provides nutrients and a source of energy for your immune defense.
It contains about one-third the amount of fat contained in the dessicated coconut.
Antimicrobial fat content
Lauric acid makes up about half the coconut fatty acids.
Capric acid makes up about 6 to 7% of the coconut fat acids.
It tends to slightly lower serum cholesterol.
Lauric acid
Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid.
Significant levels can be found in mother's milk.
A mother's diet plays an important role in the amount of lauric acid found in the milk.
Lauric acid has a neutral effect on serum cholesterol.
