Sweetened and unsweetened:Is coconut water good for diabetes?

December 13,2019
Share:

Due to the fact that Coconut water has gained popularity as a quick source of sugar, electrolytes, and hydration.

It’s a thin, sweet liquid, extracted from the inside of young, green coconuts.

Unlike coconut meat, which is rich in fat, coconut water consists mostly of carbs.

For this reason, and because many companies add ingredients like sugar, flavorings, and other fruit juices, people with diabetes may wonder whether this is drink affects their blood sugar levels.

This article reviews whether coconut water is a good option for people with diabetes.

Coconut water has a sweet taste due to naturally occurring sugars.

However, its sugar content varies depending on the amount of sugar added by the manufacturer.

Sweetened coconut water has around twice as much sugar as unsweetened coconut water.

In comparison, an 8-ounce (240-ml) can of Pepsi contains 27 grams of sugar.

Therefore, unsweetened coconut water is a much better choice than many other sweetened beverages, including sugary soda, for those with diabetes or anyone looking to lower their sugar intake.

What’s more, coconut water is an excellent source of potassium, manganese, and vitamin C, providing 9%, 24%, and 27% of the Daily Value (DV), respectively, in just 8 ounces (240 ml).

Sweetened coconut water has twice as much sugar as unsweetened varieties. Choose unsweetened coconut water over other sugary beverages like soda if you’re looking to decrease your sugar intake.
