What is the consensus on drinking coconut water? I love it but have steered clear of it because of the amount of potassium.

To be honest I have not been put on any restrictions as far as diet except the usual watch your sodium and protein intake.

My blood work is all normal. I do not drink anything (literally) except water with lemon and maybe if I feel like it one cup of coffee a day. 

Any thoughts?

    Iceman is hilarious!

    You should be good with coconut water but that depends on how much of it you're drinking.....and what's your mixer?  Lime? Rum?  When in doubt, ask your doctor if you're concerned.
