minus-square@MeDuViNoXlink18•1 month agoY’all like water? Now get ready for water 2, thick edition. 🥵😫
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink10•1 month 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 month agoOh this real? I assumed it was AI. Excuse me while I vomit profusely.
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink5•edit-21 month 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-squareResol van LemmylinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month 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 month agoNo, its a gel-thing for people who have problems swallowing
minus-square@MeDuViNoXlink1•1 month agoI suppose it would make hydration easier for stroke victims, like another comment said. It also might make bathroom time a lot more scary.
minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agojust wait until you find out about heavy water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoI’d rather die from dehydration than buy bottled water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 month agoThen you are lucky you can drink the tap water where you are.
minus-square@MeDuViNoXlink1•edit-21 month 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-square@MeDuViNoXlink3•1 month agoWell, lucky you, because you can buy the powder and add it to any water. Also, yes, fuck bottled water.

Interesting, thanks, I was wondering.

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