  Would you drink a glass of toxic water?

    Clean pure H₂O can be toxic, in quantity. People have died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication I believe this demonstrates GPs point.

      It does not demonstrate their point. The discussion is about toxicity from metals in soil. We all know that toxicity is not binary. It’s a dumb retort. It’s as dumb as people saying “correlation does not imply causation” when the authors of an article have expertise in statistical reasoning. Obviously the phrase “toxic water” means water polluted by toxins. Go be a pedant to someone else.

        Apologies -- you were not demonstrating your expertise in upthread comments, so I could only guess at your level of understanding.

          It’s unfortunate for you that you seem to not comprehend that a large majority of peoples’ knowledge lies between expert toxicologist and knowing that pretty much everything is toxic in large enough doses. Saying “pure water can be toxic” is a stupid response.
