Summary

376: Today I'm exposing seven coconut water brands hiding added sugars, chemical preservatives, and hormone disrupting contaminants behind labels that say pure and natural. A peer-reviewed study found that nearly four in 10 commercial coconut waters contain undeclared added sugar that never appears on the label. And the biggest brand on this list just triggered securities fraud investigations from five different law firms. And stick around to the end because I'm also sharing the five brands that actually deliver what's inside a real coconut. Topics Discussed: → Which coconut water brands have the most added sugar? → Is Vita Coco actually good for you? → What does "natural flavors" mean on a coconut water label? → What is the healthiest coconut water to buy? → Does coconut water have BPA?

0:06.9	Today, I'm exposing seven coconut water brands hiding added sugars, chemical preservatives,
0:13.6	and hormone-disrupting contaminants behind labels that say pure and natural.
