Allergic to Coconut-Be very careful what you eat or drink

dipat2005

I have a friend who is allergic to anything with Coconut. She does ok with the Coconut Air Freshener I have in my car.

I was very surprised that Coconut Oil has been appearing in Hot Cocoa Mix. So that is why I feel like I gain at least a pound every time I drink it. I use Cinnamon powder in my hot cocoa now.

Has anyone else noticed coconut oil being added to other food items?

Honestly it seems like it's in everything now lol. It went from the category "eat it and die" to "eat it and you won't die" 😂

I don't buy much that is any kind of a mix but I will watch out for this. I recently discovered powdered MCT coconut oil at the Bulk Barn. Didn't know you could powder something like an oil. So that must be how they are getting coconut oil into a powedered mix.

I have been using a 5 mushroom cocoa blend from Harmonic Arts and just checked the label again to be sure but it only contains raw cacao, palm sugar and the 5 mushroom extract. No coconut oil. I make it with milk. Absolutely delicious!

If someone is allergic to coconut, does that include palm sugar? Or just the products from the coconut itself?
