minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•1 year agoY’all like water? Now get ready for water 2, thick edition. 🥵😫
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink11•1 year agoI was caring for someone on a thickened liquids restriction and it is… awful. So many great things are made not great by thickening.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoOh this real? I assumed it was AI. Excuse me while I vomit profusely.
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink6•edit-21 year agoPeople who have survived things like a stroke might have trouble swallowing liquids without choking, so you have to thicken them. ETA; I think memory care patients go that way towards the end, too, like Alzheimer’s.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoI’d rather die from dehydration than buy bottled water.
minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoluckily for you, nestle believes that exact same thing!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoWell, lucky you, because you can buy the powder and add it to any water. Also, yes, fuck bottled water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 year agoThen you are lucky you can drink the tap water where you are.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-21 year agoHopefully they filter it themselves or have well water clean enough to drink. But that does seem like a tap water type of response, lol. I think the message they’re trying to convey is that plastic is bad for the environment and bottled water is one of the biggest contributers.
minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agojust wait until you find out about heavy water.
minus-squareResol van LemmylinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoIsn’t that just heavy water (D2O) chemically? Wouldn’t that kill you if you consume too much of it? Am I deserving of downvotes?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 year agoNo, its a gel-thing for people who have problems swallowing
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoI suppose it would make hydration easier for stroke victims, like another comment said. It also might make bathroom time a lot more scary.

Oh
It basically just increases the viscosity.
How would that affect the human body?

I get it now.
