Read up on water intoxication deaths of marathoners and discover why your simple idea is wrong.
- dhughes 15y agoI did I went to Mayo Clinic and NIH websites and the gist of it is too much water results in rapid loss of sodium and your body's cells swell up with excess water. Drinking litres of pop such as low sodium would also be dangerous according to the descriptions given at those sites, so many people these days just drink pop and lots of it. Any on-going health problems such as poor health in a person would increase the risk of a serious condition such as water intoxication. It's probably why there is some sodium in bottled water.
