Star Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I just bought coconut water, all i found was with the following ingredients: Coconut liquid, water, and potassium metabisulphite. IS THAT COMPLIANT? (Please say yes ) I saw somewhere that it isn't advised but is it ALLOWED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 "it isn't advised but is it ALLOWED" pertains to coconut water in general, but any containing sulphites are 100% out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sulphites torture your gut and make the surface scream. You don't have ears in your gut, so you rarely hear what is going on, but you really don't want to dine with sulphites. They are meanies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hamilton Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Im on day five of my whole 30 experience. I usually drink vita coco, coconut water, but it has "less than 1% natural fruit sugar", listed in the ingredients? Is this ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ok, now drinking coconut water is not recommended as a regular beverage because it's a bit like drinking fruit juice. However although some brands are pure coconut water Vita Coco plain does have added fruit sugar. I very much suspect this would rule it out. Here's what I learned from their website Why does Vita Coco add natural fruit sugar? Vita Coco's non-flavored coconut water beverage now includes “less than 1% natural fruit sugar†on its ingredient list. (Note that this does not apply to Vita Coco's flavored beverages.) This addition enables Vita Coco to standardize the sweetness level of its beverages regardless of harvest, time of year, or country of origin. Depending on the sweetness of a harvest, Vita Coco adjusts the sugar level in the packaged beverage to ensure consistency of sweetness. Taste may continue to vary slightly as Vita Coco is a natural beverage made from coconuts sourced from around the world. The fruit sugar added to Vita Coco's non-flavored coconut water is natural and derived from fruit such as pears and apples. Vita Coco does not use corn-derived sugars.

Leif_in_Alaska Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hmm, hadn't really associated the two before now, but I use sodium metabisulfite (equivalent to potassium) as a sulfur dioxide source in a cyanide destruction process. Can't say from my experience working with it that I would want to ingest any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
