Why the fuck do they add sodium to bottled water?

>>8457347
idk, but I'm not convinced the pic supports the idea that it was added

one would have to know how and where the water was collected and treated prior to bottling, and to have knowledge of the treatment process

>>8457347

Why the fuck does op not know how to google?

>“If you had pure water by itself, it doesn’t have any taste,” says Bob Mahler, Soil Science and Water Quality professor at the University of Idaho. “So companies that sell bottled water will put in calcium, magnesium or maybe a little bit of salt.”

>>8457347
to make you drink more

Assuming it was actually added, it could be for softening the water.

>>8457355
The dasani website says it adds sodium along with other minerals as part of the purification process, but the FDA considers the sodium nutritionally negligible. Negligible or not I dont want fucking sodium in my water

>>8457365
That would be L-theanine which is present in most bottled water

>>8457357
>If you had pure water by itself, it doesn’t have any taste
Oh, opposed to the rich bold taste it usually does?

>>8457347
because otherwise your tongue would swell up and you'd suffacate

Jews unironically

>>8457367
Water has sodium in it naturally and there's nothing harmful about it.

Distilled water would lower your salt concentration to dangerous leveles.

>>8457347
it interacts with molecules in your brain, making everyone more docile and controllable by the Jews

>>8457412
kek

lol that's fucking nothing

tap water sodium where i live is routinely 150ppm and above, tastes like diluted seawater sometimes

shit killed all my vegetables and forced me to buy a reverse osmosis filter

fucking kike water companies

>Water has sodium in it naturally
nigga there aint no NA in H2O

>>8457433
what's A?

>>8457347
water that is too pure fucks up your cells because they all lyse since the concentrations of water are different

thats high school biology

>>8457433
humans have survived for hundreds of thousands of years drinking boiled river water. using electrolysis to make 100% pure H2O couldn't be farther from natural.

>>8457347
because in some stores bottled water is on a hot floor for months

>>8457542
Why is there sodium in river water?

>>8457433
pure h20 doesn't actually exist naturally

and besides drinking pure h20 would be quite unhealthy

>>8457659
Gotta get to the oceans somehow.

>pure h20 doesn't actually exist naturally
Ill give you that but if you include vapor it's iffy at best
>and besides drinking pure h20 would be quite unhealthy
Nigger wtf

>>8458140
no, pure h20 just straight up does not happen outside of a lab, and even then it's really just a good enough approximation.

If you had pure h20 that could be bad because of something called hypotonicity, the water would end up drawing salts and other minerals your cells need to survive out of your cells. In reality this probably won't be fatal because the water would be cotaminated before it starts interacting with your cells.

But beside that, there is nutritional concerns, you would have to get the needed minerals in your diet by some other form, so there is a greater chance that you will unbalance your nutrient intake.

>h20
I'm not sure if people like you are deliberate trolls, or just retarded.
The other day I saw someone writing it as h[math]^2[/math]0 and I thought that I couldn't get it more wrong, yet recognizable, if I tried.

It's H[math]_2[/math]O, capital H and capital letter O at the end. Not the number 0. The 2 in the middle is subscripted. If you can't do that, that's fine, write it normally, but don't superscript it.

>allowing your water to grow microorganisms
kek

>>8457347
shit, so if I drink 300 bottles of water il go over my max sodium intake per day?

>>8459433
If you drink that much water you have bigger issues mate.

>>8457496
There are other sources of Na though

>>8459597
Do you like to chew on little sticks of sodium or what?

>>8459433

:(

>>8458362
That's not how tonicity (Or osmolarity) works.
Water is the thing that does the moving, not the osmotically active particles.
Which means that what's actually going to happen is that the water streams into the cell.

Drinkable water must have mineral content.

Drinking pure H20 will make you sick.

This is to do with the osmilarity of your body's fluid compartments.

STOP TYPING A FUCKING 0. REEEEEEEEEEEEE
