I wanted to ask you about coconut cream, oil and water. I wanted to ask you what the difference is between or among those three and what benefits?

Coconut milk, also called coconut water is water. Little bit of extra minerals and nutrients in it, little higher in calcium, but it's basically water.
In Asian, women will not drink, but maybe a half a cup of it a day because it causes swelling, causes water retention, it is water. Asians don't drink water like we do. You don't see Asians going around drinking water all the time, unless they're the new generation that have been brought up by TV and the school system, which is mainly Western teachings.
I've dated quite a few Asians and they will only have water with their meals because of the dry rice, but they don't drink water all day long.
They eat things with nutrients in them. They'll eat fruit off the peddlers on the street. They'll eat fruit, they'll eat vegetables with water in them.
