The most important thing, as emphasized in this article, is blatantly incorrect. "Mindlessly consuming a lot of water every day" will not cause you to die. Drinking a massive amount of water, an amount that your body is not accustomed to, and without any food intakes, is what can kill you. The condition is called hyponatremia, meaning that too much sodium is flushed from the body. It's worth looking up. I believe you are making a mistake by discouraging people from drinking water and encouraging them to satisfy thirst by eating moist foods.
