Hey all, Is it particularly unhealthy to snack on powdered drink mix? The kind that’s just garbage chemicals and artificial flavors. I drink TONS of water every day because I take a lot of medication so I have always drank a lot of water. I pee like 10x a day and it’s very clear so I know I’m getting plenty. That being divulged, we have this powdered drink mix and I like touching the pouch opening to my tongue and sucking on the powder a little bit at a time. It’s tasty and no calories to speak of. I know it’s junk but it keeps me from snacking on junk food. I just wonder if it’s particularly unhealthy to do.
It’s unhealthy to drink tons of water. Water poisoning is real. When you drink too much water you purge minerals and other useful substances out of your body.
Yes learned about that a long time ago. But it woukd have to be like three gallons a day mayne even more. I don’t drink quite that much. And it’s not called water poisoning, it’s called water toxicity.
Sorry, litteral translation. English isn’t my mother tongue.
It’s about two gallons to get acute symptoms but just drinking loads of water for a long time can get your sodium levels dangerously low. Anyway, just take care. Too much of anything is… too much.
Totally agree!
