Killed By Acidulated Water and Over Consuming

Acidulated water is water where some sort of acid is added—often lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar—to prevent cut or skinned fruits or vegetables from browning so as to maintain their appearance. Making up about 66 percent of the human body, water runs through the blood, inhabits the cells, and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat, urination, defecation or exhaled breath, among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose. Mary died after competing in a radio station's on-air water-drinking contest. After downing some six liters of water, she begin to vomit then went home with a splitting headache, and died from so-called water intoxication. A group of teenagers have died after consuming copious amounts of water trying to rehydrate following long nights of dancing and sweating. Too much of something is never a good thing.
