yes.

I am not sure I would completely agree that coconut milk is a good as coconut water when diluted. However Coconut milk is still great, yes but is higher in saturated fat that coconut water. Nonetheless coconut milk is good for you because while its does contain saturated fats this fat is easily metabolized by the body and also contains a high amount of Lauric acid (something good for you) same substance you will find in mothers milk.

Coconut water on the other hand also great doesn't contain as much Lauric acid as it's fat free but it's loaded with electrolytes, potassium and magnesium. Some even claim it's a substitute for your favourite sport energy drink but that debatable. However if you are ever in a pinch and need quick re-hydration coconut water can be taken intravenously.

Personally I wouldn't confuse the two; while drink /concoctions can be made from the milk I believe the most refreshing and nutritious beverage of the two is pure and natural coconut water.

What is the edible part of the coconut?

There are a variety of products and byproducts that you can get from a coconut. First, when you cut open a coconut, in the center is coconut water. The younger the coconut, the more waters will be in the center (optimal at around 7-9 months). Coconut water is one of the best beverages one can put in his/her body (see www.TRUCOCO.com for information on coconut water). As a coconut ages, the white part on the inside (this is called the flesh, or meat of the the coconut) grows and the amount of water typically decreases. The white part of the coconut is used to make a variety of products, such as coconut milk, coconut oil and coconut chips. All coconut products have a great amount of health benefits. Check out this article by a Dr. Mercola who has done a bunch of work on coconuts: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/27/coconut-water-ultimate-rehydrator.aspx For the shells. they are mostly discarded, however, there are a variety of uses of the shells as well, even for furniture.
