I'm gonna buy a Coconut Water tonight so I can judge for myself. Might wake up tmrw revitalized and fresh.
Well? Are we fresh today? Revitalised? What is your decision? Is coconut water going to change your life forever or did you just pay for someones new investment property?
We need to start our own pointless product with groundless claims. How about Kuntzacola. Made from watermelon juice. That's what fueled the Spartans at the Gates of Fire.
i have often thought that, I need to invent the next superfood, the public will suck it up for a while then move on to the next one. They are great marketing and the public falls for it every time.
Coconut oil was used animal feed for so long. Make a few dubious studies, now a superfood at probably 1000% mark up compared to before.
My thought was A1 milk. Sounds better than A2 for starters. The a2 company research already showed a slight advantage to a1 as it is.
Nahhh. Not for 6 bux.
Seems expensive. it's only $4 per litre at our local Coles, even cheaper when on special which it is most weeks.
Always amazes me how people in the city get raped with their prices. and they have to truck the stuff out here and it's still cheaper.
Brisbane prices... ?Seems expensive. it's only $4 per litre at our local Coles, even cheaper when on special which it is most weeks.

Hey Big Man. Coconut water is one of the best liquids you can drink, even the carton versions will do the job of quickly hydrating you. It's full of the essential electrolytes, just what your body needs to keep ticking over from a cardiovascular point of view, and also great for muscular contraction as it puts in instead of taking out the minerals you need to get a great workout contraction/pump. Enjoy it.Seems to be the flavour of the month.
My daughter loves it, she also goes nuts for actual coconuts.
Anyone crazy about this new health craze??
Any opinions?? Benefits?? Negatives??

You are providing wrong information Barry. In fact, plain old water as you've put it, can actually dehydrate you. I won't get into it unless I have to. However if you believe that coconut water is just like, or just as good as plain old water, then so be it.Coconut water hydrates as good as plain old water.

For the benefit of the forum and people reading this, please consider what they give you in a hospital attached to a drip. It's called saline....and not plain old water. In fact, if you were to drink nothing but plain water and not eat any food, you will eventually die.....from dehydration and the dilution of minerals, leading to a lack of electrical impulses which your heart needs to maintain its beating.
Well how about just drinking good old coconut water then? There's virtually zero comparison between it and plain tap water (or even most spring water sold in Oz), which is dead water, and by dead I mean devoid of any minerals/electrolytes...(again) those special things that keep you alive.
Did a coconut hit you on the head. Yes you have been suckered into the marketing like everyone else.
Sure you have a saline drip if dehydrated or have an oral reyharation solution if you have the runs. But we are talking healthy people here. And a healthy person does not get deyhdated from drinking plain water.
Not to mention coconut water doesn't have the right balance of electrolytes for optimal hydration wether dehydrated by illness or hard physical exertion, thus it is as good as plain water.
" you will die from drinking plain water and not eating food" thanks for that brain buster. I'm sure no one knew that already. Guess what, you will also die from only drinking coconut water and not eating any food.
Sorry, nothing special about coconut water.
Dr Karl does a pretty good summary for you.

You cry wolf to Repacked accusing him of being rude and insulting to you, yet you would have to be one of the rudest members on this forum. Moving from here, I was not comparing coconut water with a complete diet; a banana, or a potato. I was comparing and replying to your misinformation about the coconut water being equivalent with good old plain water. That's where the point of contention is and nowhere else. One is alive whilst the other is dead...again, based on one having electrolytes and the other having none. That was my argument.
Dr Karl (talking about coconut water), soon enough moves on to discussing coconut's high amount of saturated fats, saying "They are very strongly associated with bad blood cholesterol levels and heart disease." Where did I hear that before I wonder? Dr Karl falls into the trap, failing to realise that association does not equal causation. There are plenty of people eating a high fat (saturated fat) diet, yet have reduced their consumption of carbohydrates tremendously, destroying the causation by association argument for good.
