They don’t, not enough sodium for one thing. I guess you first use the clean juice to make them stop dying long enough so you can stitch what’s left of them together, and if they wake up you could tuck a salt pill under their tongue.

Gets interesting when you start to wonder why a coconut and human blood have the same concentration of electrolytes.

Way too much potassium too. It’s like d5w with potassium and mag. Potentially quite deadly over the long term.

Yeah it’s actually a really shitty substitute for blood, it’s just slightly less shitty than dying. It was all about keeping the blood pressure high enough so that what little blood you had would work. Coconut water was one of the only things that could do that without also killing you. It’s still a very bad day

Well you could always go the boiled water and some salt route. “Yo dog I heard you liked shock so I infused some water with bacteria antigens in it so you could go into shock while you’re going into shock.”

The short answer is most of life on Earth shares some basic levels of chemistry. That doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit though, just that human bodies are resilient enough to make due with terrible substitutes at times.
