Distilled water. That tang. I'm told it's stripping my body of minerals but 1) I don't really believe it and 2) I really don't care, it's fucking delicious.
Not sure if this is real, but just to be clear, it is totally stripping your body of all ions, including the electrolytes that your nerves need to keep your lungs and heart functioning.
Small amounts will be fine, especially if you don't hold your pee, but it can absolutely kill you. Read up on water intoxication if you want to know more.
Nah, I just process it with my mighty system of organs.
Why didn't I think of that?
But really, it's sold in every supermarket, right next to the spring water, in an almost identical package, with no warnings. I infer people are not dropping dead left and right.
