      I was caring for someone on a thickened liquids restriction and it is… awful. So many great things are made not great by thickening.

          People who have survived things like a stroke might have trouble swallowing liquids without choking, so you have to thicken them.

          ETA; I think memory care patients go that way towards the end, too, like Alzheimer’s.

      Isn’t that just heavy water (D2O) chemically? Wouldn’t that kill you if you consume too much of it?

      Am I deserving of downvotes?

        It basically just increases the viscosity.

          How would that affect the human body?

            I suppose it would make hydration easier for stroke victims, like another comment said.

            It also might make bathroom time a lot more scary.

      I’d rather die from dehydration than buy bottled water.

        Then you are lucky you can drink the tap water where you are.

          Hopefully they filter it themselves or have well water clean enough to drink. But that does seem like a tap water type of response, lol.

          I think the message they’re trying to convey is that plastic is bad for the environment and bottled water is one of the biggest contributers.

        Well, lucky you, because you can buy the powder and add it to any water.

        Also, yes, fuck bottled water.
