Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm not exactly sure if this is recommended, but I like to treat myself to coconut water (not milk) during the hot weather season. I buy it at Thrifty Foods grocery store here on Vancouver Island in the vitamin section and pay $2.79 Canadian for 330 ml (11 fluid ounces). Here is the website for O.N.E. 100% coconut water www.onenaturalexperience.com (but I'm having trouble accessing it today) There is info on the website for infants, children, and nursing mothers. Also, airplane rides. I used to drink the water from the inside of young green coconuts when I lived in the Philippines, so I was delighted when I found out last summer that my grocery store was selling coconut water. The O.N.E. product is being sold as an excellent replacement for lost electrolytes from exercise and illness. It is very high in potassium (helps regulate blood pressure and heart function). I always get a bit concerned about taking enough potassium during the summer months. Although I have potassium chloride powder I can take, I much prefer to drink a nice cold container of coconut water. The taste may take a bit of getting used to, if you've never tried it before, but I love it and feel good afterwards. oops, I just figured out that it has 15 g of carbs, so maybe that is too high A few other details: 5 essential electrolytes no fat, cholesterol, added sugar, preservatives low in calories -- 60 rich in potassium -- 670 g Ingredient: 100% natural coconut water Nutrition Facts per container: calories: 60 total fat: 0g cholesterol: 0g sodium 60 mg potassium 670 mg Total Carbs 15 g dietary fiber 0g sugars 14g Protein 1 g Calcium 40mg Phosphorus 17 mg Magnesium 25 mg No Financial Interest Thought I'd share, in case you want another drink for the hot days of summer. I wrote most of this before I started on SCD, so I'd be interested to know what you all think. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi Louise, I used to open Thai Young Coconuts and use the water inside there, until I was told it was illegal.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I used coconut water when I was training for my marathon. Since I could not drink Gatorade or Powerade because of the sugar, it was an excellent SCD legal substitute.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Isn't the issue about coconut whether it's the young green coconuts or the brown coconuts? The young ones being illegal and the brown ones being legal? From what I understood most coconut water sold is from young coconuts.
