    Water is hypotonic, not isotonic. Why does it surprise people that too much of it causes hemolysis and death?

    I met a woman a few years ago who's sister was in a coma at the time from this same thing. She did ultimately recover, but they sure didn't know for while if she would.

    Well Moderation is the key, Excess of anything is harmful for your health. For healthy life eat and drink well balanced meals. I always thought that water is the ultimate soultion for weight loss and many skin diseases like acne. Never thought some could be killed through it. But moral of the story. Moderation is best.:)

    Well...anything pursued in excess can give adverse results...Too much of anything...be it wealth or emotions or any material things or even as innocent as water...and you have the recipe for disaster.
