Yep - cook with it, occasionally make paleo ice cream with it.

It is great source of fat. It is NOT raw.

So go ahead and frown as you eat it.

World peace good, war bad. Oh, you mean about coconut milk - good
(not as good as world peace, but better than whirled peas)

It sounds right. I never went out of ketosis when using coconut
milk, so I am assuming the label is correct.
> Also, doesn't it have natural antifungal/ antiviral properties??
Yep - rich source of medium chain triglycerides. Caprilic acid (8
carbons) is a good antifungal, monolauric acid (12, me thinks) is
a good anti-viral (specifically anti herpes-like viruses).
