minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•5 months agoY’all like water? Now get ready for water 2, thick edition. 🥵😫
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink11•5 months 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•5 months agoOh this real? I assumed it was AI. Excuse me while I vomit profusely.
minus-squareflickerlinkfedilink6•edit-24 months 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•5 months 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•5 months agoNo, its a gel-thing for people who have problems swallowing
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•4 months 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•4 months agojust wait until you find out about heavy water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•5 months agoI’d rather die from dehydration than buy bottled water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•5 months agoThen you are lucky you can drink the tap water where you are.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-25 months 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@[email protected]linkfedilink3•5 months 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?
