  The 2nd version of this container should add purity percentage.

  Why? How much would be safe

    It’s lacking all sorts of minerals, electrolytes etc that the body needs. I doubt a glass of the stuff wouldn’t cause problems but if you only drink pure water then you’re going to start having problems pretty fast.

      It’s basically distilled water, no?

        Your body must regulate ion levels - sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Drinking pure water in excess will force you to produce urine, and when you take a piss, you’ll lose some of those ions with it. Big, big problem. That’s why you need salt in your diet.

        Yea I think you're fine drinking like a litre of distilled water. Too much of anything will kill you, even regular water.

      Would you really? Food also contains minerals and electrolytes.

        You could certainly make up the electrolytes and minerals in other ways (drinking distilled water may even increase appetites for those types of foods). Still, drinking a liquid that leeches minerals out of the tissue around it isn’t healthy

    The LD~50~ for pure H~2~O seems to be >90,000 mg/kg. (According to rat studies, so take it with a grain of salt.)

      If you take it with a grain of salt it’s less toxic than pure water

    Depends on a lot of circumstances – weight, kidney and heart function, temperature, activity. The people I saw developing hyponatriema drank more than 4–5 l tap water. Desalinated water will cause problems sooner.

    It’s difficult to say and drinking a bit of sweat with every sib would help a lot. The experiment is that some of your cells in a dish with excess of pure H2O will suck themselves full till they explode due to osmosis.

    I think it has something to do about demineralisation, the water would absorb minerals out of the body
