I thank you for this information on coconut products. I am disappointed to read some of this as I am well addicted to coconut oil, water and coconut meats for making dessert foods. Coconut oil in my daily coffee has supported me with a 40 pound weight loss and overall I’m healthier because of this weight loss. I have had some cholesterol changes but overall better than values from prior years. I appreciate this overview but very disappointed that it is not my miracle cure and I’ll need to stop daily consumption!

Very interesting article. It grabbed my attention because I use coconut oil in my gluten free muffin recipe and my gluten free cookie recipe. I also like drinking coconut water and using it in my smoothies. I always purchase the Goya brand because it also contains the pulp with the juice.

Hi Kathy, I’m glad the article resonated with you! Coconut water is actually one of the more natural and wholesome drink choices out there.

When choosing a brand, the ingredient list should say one thing and one thing only: coconut water. No added sugars, no flavors, no preservatives, no concentrate. Steer clear of anything labeled as a coconut water blend or cocktail as these almost always contain added sugars and artificial flavoring that undermine the natural goodness of the coconut water itself. When you find a brand you love, go ahead and enjoy it in moderation as part of your overall hydration alongside plenty of plain filtered water.

Hope that helps! –Ina, Food Revolution Network Team

I think this leads to more confusion for the public especially since Heart Disease is our number one killer. I am 76 I do not have heart disease. I eat a whole food plant based diet that does not include coconut. I just don’t believe saturated fat is a healthy choice.

I use coconut oil daily for oil pulling. I love to put it on my lips and under eyes in the morning. I love the texture. Thank you for this very informative piece on coconuts!
