    What happened to good ol' fashioned tap water? Coconut water doesn't protect your teeth like the water from my faucet

    Who doesn't support it?! It makes our smiles so white and complacent.

    I believe the human body was designed to drink 1 thing.. Water.

    Most people don't understand that defluoridation is often a component of "water fluoridation"... naturally occurring water levels are higher than desired in some places:

    Coconut water is not a bad thing to drink, although it is an awfully expensive source of potassium and sugar. At least Vita Coco adds vitamin C to it. If you're going to drink coconut water to rehydrate after training, it would be a good idea to add salt to it, because the main thing you lose in sweat is sodium, not potassium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspiration#Composition

    Also don't forget protein, another very important component of recovery. For my recovery drinks I usually follow the Paleo Diet for Athletes' recommendations: http://www.amazon.com/The-Paleo-Diet.../dp/160961917X

    I also add wheatgrass powder as a source of micronutrients and this is what I use for my protein source, it also has some good complex carbs, iron, and some other beneficial things: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrit.../dp/B002DYJ0K2

    I immediately disregard any nutritional advice you have to give if you're a fat person.
