Bengaluru doctor calls tender coconut water overrated, sparks online debate
As temperatures soar, tender coconut water has become a go-to summer drink, but its rising price has ignited discussions online. A Bengaluru-based cardiologist, Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy, weighed in on the debate, calling it an overrated beverage. He suggested that instead of spending ₹60-100 on coconut water, people should simply drink water.
The discussion gained traction when a user pointed out uniform pricing in Bengaluru, alleging price manipulation. Dr. Krishnamurthy reinforced his stance, advising people to eat a banana and drink water for better benefits at a fraction of the cost. However, some users defended coconut water, citing health benefits. One individual mentioned that it helped with nosebleeds, to which the doctor bluntly responded, “You should consult an ENT specialist.”
The debate continues, with opinions divided between those advocating for coconut water’s natural electrolytes and those criticizing its inflated cost.
