∙ 14y agoNo. Cholesterol is only present in the meat of animals and in animal-derived products (e.g., milk, cheese, butter, yogurt). No vegetable food contains cholesterol. However, many vegetable foods DO contain FAT in varying proportions; in the case of coconut milk, it is extremely high in fat, and particularly in saturated fat.

∙ 11y agoThere is no cholesterol in coconut milk, or in any vegetable/fruit/nut. Cholesterol is only found in animal products.
However the saturated fat content of coconut milk is quite high. This is probably bad news, since saturated fats can raise your cholesterol levels, but there are some people who have been saying that the saturated fat in coconut milk is different from the saturated fat in other things, and even go so far as to say that it's good for your circulation.
