hmmmm.... this thread has got me a little concerned, i have a litre bottle that is practically glued to my hand and most days i could easily refill it 5 times or more.

I didn't think the water toxicity thing was that common, maybe i'm overdoing it slightly!

I don't think that's all that much. I've always got a 1.5litre bottle which I refill constantly. I reckon I get 4-5 litres per day, not including water from tea/coffee. I've only ever noticed good things from it.

Water toxicity happens when you drink purified desalinated water. Natural water is full of mineral content.

You can get it with any water that doesn't have salt in it. You have to drink a large quantity in a short period of time though. It is very hard to do.

It's not a toxicity so much as it just dilutes your sodium levels.

Yeah, but the accepted term for it is "water toxicity".

Yea, I know. I was just pointing out that the name is a little misleading.
