Jonathan Parks+FollowThe Coconut Water Lie Coconut water is marketed as a miracle: “natural sports drink,” “hydration boost.” But most cartons on store shelves are far from fresh coconuts. They’re pasteurized, stored for months, and sometimes loaded with added sugar. A single bottle can have more calories than a can of soda. And the “electrolytes” claim? Yes, coconut water has potassium—but not nearly enough sodium to replace what athletes lose in sweat. Unless you’re running marathons in the tropics, plain water works better. So is it really a health hack—or just soda in disguise with better PR? #FoodLies #DrinkSmarter #BodyHacks3424Share
