Is there anything unhealthy about drinking fresh young coconut juice too often? I seem to be obsessed with it lately... Some friends told me it isn't good to drink too much of it, but no one can tell me why.

As far as I can tell there is no risk at all for drinking coconut milk (the clear type) - it has many antioxidant and nutritive benefits so there is no indication or research supporting your friends assumption. They may be thinking of carrot juice which consumed in excess can turn your skin orange (not dangerous - just silly). Enjoy!!
PS: the fatty type is the white which is made by puree of the flesh and is not truely the "milk" of the coconut.

I do not think that "Green" coconut milk is the bad kind. the white coconut milk is the fatty bad kind. Now if you are getting it out of a can then it may have additives and stuff. We always had just the green coconuts off the tree.

Coconut milk is high in fat. In large amounts it is quite unhealthy.

just take heed to what your friends are telling you because that is some very fatty milk and it will cause you to gain a lot of weight and that will lead to other problems
