If the goldfish story is true, it probably died from a lack of oxygen. Does drinking water contain any nutrients not adequately available from a normal diet?

I am extremely skeptical of the osmosis story told in the last two paragraphs, as I am doubtful that there is that much difference between clean soft drinking water and ultrapure water.
- aeternum 3y agoMaybe if you drank only ultra pure water and ate no food. The osmosis story is clear BS. The instant the water hits your mouth plenty of bacteria and electrolytes from salivia are reintroduced, not to mention all your digestive juices. If you injected the pure water directly into your bloodstream, you'd have an osmosis problem, thus the need for saline in IVs.
