    I know rhis is lemmy shitpost, and this post is a joke, but in case it is not please watch this: youtu.be/LUGdQnxuixI

    It’s based on actual case of exactly this, explained by actual doctor. I can recommend watching even if this is a joke, chubbyemu makes amazing videos.

      OK it was what I expected.

      TLDR; the “horse” part of this wasn’t the problem other than that it’s easier to purchase an unhinged quantity at a veterinary supply store. If he was reconstituting to the proper strength (being sober would have helped with that) the electrolytes themselves wouldn’t have been an issue (and honestly are actually beneficial when imbibing).

      I figured it had to be, iirc from reading veterinary metabolic panel normal ranges most of us placental mammals have roughly the same electrolyte balances. Afaik it goes back to whether you have a common ancestor only before or also after leaving the ocean and that your balance is reflective of the ocean’s balance at that time.

    Electrolytes are electrolytes. Your horse gets a fuck ton more salt, but it’s basically all the same shit.

      artificial apple flavor

      Is this something horses actually like, or was it put there knowing very well humans would be consuming it

      mixing a bit of table salt and sugar in a glass of water will do pretty much the same thing and cost less than both of those.

        i think potassium is what actually makes the difference since it’s so critical for peeing the right amount and you tend to lose a lot of it

        Sodium chloride is not the only electrolyte the body needs. It’s fairly important to keep a healthy balance: medlineplus.gov/fluidandelectrolytebalance.html

      Also, this stuff is made for horses. Their entire body and nutricial needs are completely different. I for example often have a calcium and vitamin D shortage so I need to take supplements next to my healthy diet. But the amounts I need are completely different to what a horse needs. Too much vitamin D is toxic, too much calcium brittle your bones. I can take paracetamol, so can donkeys, but cats would die from it. Taking supplements that are made for animals can be toxic and can be way to high dosages. Like with this guy, who has a tingling skin because of it, and probably causes damage to his kidneys and or liver, among other organs.

      I used to work in a baked goods factory where scrapped product and ingredients got sold to a pig feed supplier

      They constantly told the workers not to put any product that had touched the floor into the pig feed bins (the floor, aside from being the fucking gross floor, often had metal shavings, machine oil, etc. on it) but everyone ignored that rule and management barely tried to enforce it

      Another reason to feel bad for factory farmed animals. Those pigs probably have lacerations throughout their digestive system. :(

      source
      • daannii@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I worked for general Mills factory for maybe 4 or 5 months back around 2005 ish.

        Yeah cereal and granola that got spilled or messed up went into bins labeled animal food.

        The place was kept pretty clean. But it’s still a factory floor where we wore boots.

        I remember more than once shoveling nasty food disasters off the floor with dirt mixed in. Told to put in those bins.

        We cleaned those floors with harsh chemicals too when we did clean them. Surely residue from those contaminated the food.

        I asked if it was dog food and was told it was for pigs.
        Probably made up.

        Who knows what it was used for.

    If you wanna save money from buying Gatorade? Sprinkle a tad bit of salt in tap water. That’s the amount of electrolytes the average person uses. If you need a little flavor the squirt a bit of mio.

    source
    • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The recipe for oral rehydration solution, the Gatorade base, is 1 liter water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2T sugar. Shake to mix.

      You can add OJ, lemon and/or lime juice, kool-aid powder, mio, crystal light, etc. for flavor.

      The Italian version is sparkling water, juice of a lemon slice, and big dash of salt.

      Yeah, just a bit of table salt! Magnesium, potassium, calcium? Never heard of 'em!

      source
      • BCsven@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        The potassium in it is an alternate salt, so you get your electrolytes without the sodium induced blood pressure changes many people experience.

        Looks like the bone weakness comes from the calcium being pulled from the bones into the bloodstream. I would suspect that ODing on Ca wouldn’t cause that symptom

      As far as I can tell, that community talked a big game about the dietary reasons why their bones might be strong but were generally inactive people who never pushed their bodies (and bones) anywhere close to their limits.
