Hi All , I've got a couple of questions , i've been reading a diet
book called "You are what you eat" its a great book which even has a
t.v show over in the U.K it really has shown me the errors of my ways
and i'm enjoying a much healthy life style,one piece of advice
pretty much says stay away from carbonated/fizzy drinks , but it
seems to be talking more about Cola's etc , but where do things like
sparkling spring water come into this situation ??????

Sparkling water is okay. There was some issue about carbonation being
bad for your bones a few years back, but I don't credit it with much of
a threat.

Also is coconut the fruit in its original form, okay for diets?

I saw Annibel answered this quite differently than Chris and I do.

Only because coconut contains saturated fats, the bad kind. Had the OP
said "olives", I would have answered differently.
