Question by Anonymous: If you drink pure water will you die?
I heard something about dying when you drink pure water. Pure as in there is only water. No minerals of any kind, just oxygen to hydrogen 1:2.

It won’t kill you, just won’t taste very good.
It’s just water with no additives or impurities. It’s good for you.
Thats called distilled water. And yes it’s true you can die from enough of it.
When you drink pure water, it has much lower salt content than your body’s cells, so your cells will suck up so much that they will explode (lysis).
Just a side note. You can die from drinking enough tap water as well. There was a competition on a radio show a little while back. A lady died after drinking something like 18 gallons in a row.
nope. The thing is that it’s not healthy drinking pure water but you will not die.
Like Max said, it’s all about the amount you drink. Water poisoning is very nasty, painful, and deadly, but the water itself will not kill you.
You can drink enough water to make yourself sick or in some extreme instances die but drinking pure H20 will not kill you. The astronauts drink it all the time. They don’t take much water into space instead they take Hydrogen and Oxygen and mix it in whats called a fuel cell. It produces electricity and very pure water. The bad thing about pure water is that it has not taste. Minerals add good flavor sometimes and are often good for you . I once had spring water that had a sweet taste to it . It was really cold and was it good. Distilled water is also drunk with out incidence and has absolutely no flavor. So unless your an alien form the movie Signs it won’t hurt you.
No, pure water is extremely good for you, though it may not taste the best.
yes water is poison
no it will cause no problem & you seem right to some extent also mineral water is healthy to drink.
