Why the hell do we call it “coconut water” like it’s some holy, saint-blessed hydration straight from God’s urethra? It’s juice. It comes out of a fucking fruit. If it squirted out of an orange we wouldn’t sit there pretending it’s “orange water.” But no, slap “water” on the label. It’s not magical glacier piss. It’s coconut juice. Stop jerking off the branding like it’s some enlightened nectar for smug wellness cultists.

    Too much potassium is a problem with some people, I know someone whose tests showed too much and they called up and insisted he rush down to the hospital.

      Yeah, like I said: some sort of complication. If you’re not filtering excess potassium properly it can absolutely cause issues, but our bodies (when working normally) are pretty good at handling potassium unless it’s in absurd quantities.
