I do not have these issues but several risk factors suggest this might be a good choice... So..trying coconut milk and a little ice cream ( yum, btw), but- really isn't this worse than dairy? That's a lot of saturated fat.Hard to believe that low fat occasional milk would be worse than what's in coconut stuff. I think almond milk is bitter. It ruins coffee for me..

Ps I am only a tiny bit overweight. .like 10 lbs.

I'm vegan 12 years, vegetarian 15 years before that. I love coconut products. If you have specific questions, please ask. Here are a couple of handy graphics that might help you find a milk substitute and add more plants to your diet.

If you want to stick with cows milk, either find a local organic dairy or try an organic store brand. The issue with cows milk beyond ethical are the hormones and antibiotics they use on the cows.
