I eat about 300ml of coconut cream per week and often add a teaspoon in
my sugarless cocoa powder drinks. The medium length saturated fat
molecules in coconut are not believed to contribute creation of
cholesterol in the body. On the contrary, if you scan the web you find
studies showing coconut actually help reduce cholesterol due to certain
other ingredients, which I forget what they are.

I guess the oil could be obtained by first freezing then thawing some
coconut cream to break the emulsification, followed by a gently heat and
skim off the floating oil. I'm sure there are much easier ways.
