"However, the contents of primary electrolytes sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium per 100 millilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz) serving of unprocessed coconut water are insignificant (2–7% of the DV) and not balanced." This is a little unrealistic. Firstly, compared with the amounts present in similar electrolyte drinks (Gatorade), coconut water is about an order of magnitude higher. Secondly, who drinks 100ml of coconut water? The smallest sizes are 200ml, and the most common seem to be the 0.5L cans. Such a can would indeed provide over 1000mg of potassium and over 100mg of magnesium and calcium each. As far as "balance", it's a bit much to expect from a natural product, but these numbers seem pretty close to the mark, coincidentally, and certainly sufficient to replenish immediate electrolyte losses incurred through exercise.

I added the disputed tag because this article does not seem to reflect WP:NPOV.
Nutritional Value and Commercialization, as they are Wikipedia:Cherrypicking, and using sources such as:
Of course the article should include all perspectives on this subject, but as it stands the article implies a general danger rather than specific situations which is true of anything. I was never intending to say that a Wikipedia article should imply that anything is a wonder drug, because that goes against how the WP works. It should be NPOV with entirely credible sources and not cherry picking. - Classicfilms ( talk) 18:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
-and no balancing argument. Again, I'm not pushing for an article that says this is a wonderdrug, but the absence of that discussion in conjunction with a lot of text on these points creates an article that lacks balance. And yes, I think we can just focus on these sections. I will get back with what I find.- Classicfilms ( talk) 22:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

This article lacks the kind of balance found in simple google searches from spaces such as:
