Wow apparently you only need to drink 2.5L of coconut water to get hospitalized or die (if you aren’t hospitalized). I love the beverage and could easily drink that, especially during exercise (which is also the worst time to drink it).
- ASalazarMX 5y agoThe subject in the reference got hyperkalemic while playing tennis during very hot weather after drinking eight 11 oz coconut water beverages. OTOH, the hyperkalemia article says even children quickly urinate excess potassium, so healthy people should not worry about it. I guess the lesson is: don't use coconut water like gatorade.
