Question 1

are nutritional boosts good for you?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: 
There is no evidence to support the use of these supplements to "boost" your performance.  Don't waste your money.  Instead consult with a nutritionist to develop a proper balanced diet.

Question 2

when is a nutritional cleanse helpful?

Accepted Answer

Poor nutrition: I am not sure what a 'nutritional cleanse' really means to you. Most of the 'advertised' cleanses have not been shown to be helpful, are promoted by nutrition quackery promoters, and can even be harmful. Your pocket book will also be adversely affected too.

Question 6

what are the nutritional pros and cons of coconuts?

Accepted Answer

Depends on ripeness: Mature, "dry" coconuts have high fat content, a crunchy white pulp that can be made into coconut milk. It is abundant in medium-chain fatty acids. Young green "water" coconuts have a transparent, sweet jelly pulp and less fat, and a sterile liquid with electrolytes of similar concentration to human blood. This was used to rehydrate some soldiers during ww2 in the pacific, by intravenous infusion!
