>>Coconut "milk" is probably closer to milk cream in composition.

Coconut milk contains less than half the fat and calories of cream.  If you
buy it canned, such as Thai Kitchen (regular,  not the lite stuff), it
contains 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of carbs, and 1 of protein, 90 calories per
1/4 cup.

It's rich in short and medium chain SFAs with antiviral, antifungal,
antimicrobial properties; you can read about the benefits on several  sites.
