A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lactose free: Coconut water comes from unmature, green coconuts. It’s high in potassium, making it a popular choice for athletes. Coconut milk is an emulsion of two fluids: coconut cream and coconut water. Despite its name, coconut milk is quite different from dairy milk. It's high in fat, but it's also cholesterol-free and rich in many nutrients. It raises HDL -the good cholestrol,, and is Lactose free.
