The subject in the reference got hyperkalemic while playing tennis during very hot weather after drinking eight 11 oz coconut water beverages. OTOH, the hyperkalemia article says even children quickly urinate excess potassium, so healthy people should not worry about it.

I guess the lesson is: don't use coconut water like gatorade.

I do 5 days a week in Bali. 2.5hrs of training and 2-3 coconuts (another one later in the day). I monitor heart rate, get blood tested each week. Never an issue in my case.
