I hate when I drink the water that is big (as a result of modern civilization, among other things). I like the smaller water. Common sense says that small water is better for your health!

Especially crap-tacular are the diagrams that show just how regular water is “too big” to get into your cells.

All hail science! :rolleyes:

That’s great. How long before that’s on the side of a bus?

Dear God that is almost sickening. The clusters of H2O molecules are too big… :rolleyes:

“Hey BUBBA, that glass o’ water sure is one big cluster of H2O molecules… that’ll ne’er pass into a molecule!!”

I know no one here is falling for this tripe, but what’s good to remember is that the body is evolved to make use of foods the way they occur in nature.

Even that Met-Rx “engineered food” is just a lot of the really potent stuff you can get in nature.

I read this line and immediately thought of the writer ranting about the fluoridation of water and how it’s affecting our “natural bodily fluids.”

Well, wouldn’t it hurt to pee that out? It’s way too big!

That could be dangerous!
