Here's a fun water fact from a water plant operator:
In the US, tap water is tested for turbidity, the amount of sediment present. It is measured in units labeled 'NTUs'. For water to be legal under EPA regulations in the US, that number AT MOST has to be 0.3 NTU or lower. The human eye cannot discern turbidity under 4.0 NTU, so water that looks absolutely clear and prefect to your eye could be 13 TIMES dirtier than a 'safe' level.
Now here's the really messed up thing: BOTTLED water is regulated by the FDA, as a FOOD, not water. For bottled water, it's upper NTU limit is 5. FIVE.
Bottled water can be almost 17 TIMES DIRTIER than the worst tap water allowed by law, and still pass as acceptable. Bottled water is covered under the same regulations as hotdogs, lol.
@LTNetjak municipal source bottled water is a minority. That's an easy answer because the largest brands do their own on site proprietary treatment and often cut local municipal supplies short.
Biggest examples being Nestle, Desani, and Aquafia. Those are all factory treated and bottled just like a soda.
so, have you measured the "water turbidity" of every bottled water trademark? what are the results?
Shh dont tell this to flint michigan
And people used to tell me tap water was the dirty stuff
In Israel, in some areas tap water is actually desalinated sea water.

@@gonk_ch yikes

I'm a retired chemical engineer. In one of the food plants in which I worked, we always used distilled or DI water out of the lab to make coffee, and everyone agreed it tasted far better than coffee made from the municipal water that we all drank and used at home. It's far more efficient at extracting the desirable flavonoids so the coffee was stronger but also less bitter.
Good idea , will try for my coffee next time
Also sounds like the DI water leeching out all the coffee substances makes it safer to drink.
I have a copper free line to my stainless steel water dispenser and made sure to get a stainless steel shut off valve. I put a reverse osmosis system in that is not as pure as the DI water plants that I made. Getting all copper and brass out of a system is the toughest part of installing a high purity system. But, I use only RO for drinking, making ice, cooking, and mixing drinks. My dispenser has one hot spigot and one cold spigot that are open to air. If I had used DI, it would have drawn CO2 from air and reduced its purity. So, I find RO is good enough. It is enough of a difference that I use no tap water.
@@meditative-keys works for tea and "Squinch" too. (Squinch is low cost Gatorade substitute that many large factories buy in bulk for serving on hot days). As soon as you add Squinch, even if it was 18.3 DI, it would be safe to drink because the squinch will definitely take it below 10k at instructed ratio on packet.
a bit jealous of that. lol sounds really tasty. I have a question for you Stephen. I tried this experiment myself with heavily distilled water before I saw this video and I sensed that the plastic leeched into the water. Can you allude to some classification of plastics that would point to a scale of would/wouldn't leech?

It was great for making instant iced tea.

Not sure if this will make it more than just for you brother but you can come back with the best way to make your life better
Literally straight, untampered RO/DI water? Maybe just RO?
If you mix it with something like instant iced tea, you're reionizing/remineralizing it and it's no longer DI water. Water's a heck of a solvent, so RO/DI water, lacking any ions, would dissolve high surface area things like powders very, very quickly.

@@jacobcohen3280 Funny thing - metallic is closer to “salty”, chemically speaking - and in terms of taste receptor binding.

Wow! I really didn't expect the affect of such a small amount to be so pronounced! Thanks for the demonstration. Never underestimate the power of water!
So what I am getting here is that we should start an experiment where someone tests their saliva for it's contents and then drinks a watermixture with the exact same ratio of minerals.
It should then truly be tasteless to the person, shouldn't it?
If you made a substance with the exact same concentration of types of atoms as your saliva…
Wouldn’t you have just made your saliva? In a round about way you would’ve done nothing at all.
@@theanarkiddie4569 Yes. In theory! But if we relied on theory we wouldn't need experiments!

When I was working at construction during some hot days I ran out of water earlier than expected and nearest water dispenser was a long walk away, but there were always jugs of deionised/distilled water for the machinery.
I drank loads of it for months almost every other day. Can't say I experienced any adverse effects at all. In fact normal water tasted weird afterwards. But I did drink it because I know you need regular water for the minerals in it.
But props to the water, it did quench my thirst so did the job
Distilled is not necessarily deonized. Could be the difference
@@spirit469 No, it was both. And in most cases they are both. Machinery doesn't like ions in the liquid.
Your food should make up for the lack of minerals. It's a bit like people who drink loads of water during exercise losing too much salt. Just put some salt back.
If you just go on a distilled deionised water fast then maybe.

One of the really cool differences is when you drink it after it's been sitting in a warm environment. Fill a bottle of tap water and another of distilled water and leave them in your car on a warm day. The tap water will taste gross, but the distilled water will still be delicious, even at a lukewarm temperature.
True - not recommended to drink from sun baked plastic, but true. Tap water has bacteria that grows and generates different gasses and biproducts so it will change in taste over distilled.
@@Darkcell459 BUT, putting water in clear 2 liter bottles and leaving it in the sun all day has saved millions of lives in the 3rd world. It's cheap and easy UV disinfection. The sun packs enough UV-C light punch over a day that even very questionable water is sterilized and safe to drink, no filters or electricity needed.
ALSO, for rehydration, you want water as close to body temp as possible, you can't absorb/use water you intake until it is warmed to body temp.
I can appreciate this information and approach but parts of the info isn't ideal for consumption.
Everyone has different sense of taste, but warm distilled water is gross because it doesn't have much actual taste to it. But you can become use to and even come to enjoy anything. We like what we eat (or drink) everything is an acquired taste. Some things just take more acquiring than others.
@@Darkcell459 Tap water should still have enough Chlorine residual to deal with any bacterial growth, but water treatment is not a static process, and the chemical process don't stop, so, tap water has a shelf life so to speak. Putting it in a jug and warming it for several hours will definitely accelerate that process. So the chemical composition will be different after a time, it isn't bacteria so much.

This is so fascinating. I love your channel!
Interesting fact: drinking a large enough volume of deionized water is lethal, or arguably, worse than lethal. The kidneys can only handle so much. Above that volume, serum sodium levels drop. Among the cells that are least tolerant of this hyponatremia/hypotonicity are brain cells, resulting in cytotoxic edema and cell death. This leads to coma and death. This process is especially severe in the brain stem (central pons). When this part of the pons dies from hyponatremic cytotoxic edema, the brain is permanently unable to communicate with the rest of the body, leading to "locked-in syndrome", which I envision as worse than death.

I have a salt water aquarium so I make RODI (reverse osmosis, de-ionized) water for my fish. The reason is because the dry salt water mix that's used for creating new water for the aquarium has very specific measurements of trace minerals to match the ocean. If I mixed tap water with it, the resulting mixture would be way off.
That said, I drink it sometimes and it's never bothered me. It's usually with other things though, so I think that makes a big difference. More importantly, I always use it for any time I have to mix a drink mix or coffee etc. It guarantees a consistent result, and probably has something to do with why people like my coffee so much lol (I never thought about it until writing this).

note this is over simplifyed
the problem is a problem of concentration of ions and when there is a large difference ions the one with less ions will essentially rip the some of the others out from something however there are only certain things that can have the ions ripped out unforchinatly the human body or any biological body for that matter can have its ions ripped out however adding salt increases the ion amount and thus prevents this from happening

Wow. Next can you make a video explaining the difference between the purest water found in nature and bottled water. I've always wondered
Had a pretty similar experience, i even felt a similar sore feeling on my tongue and throat afterwards and this sensation of dryness but probably way less extreme than you're describing, when i once couldn't resist to try out how destilled water tastes like. And i gotta say i love that stuff's taste. I can't really describe it, but i think the biggest part that we (or at least I) are sensitive to are water hardness ( aka content of calciumoxide ) and sodium content, and i tend to find low hardness low sodium content (i can't reaaaally spot different salts objectively) to taste kinda "pure" and more refreshing. And with destilled water that was like the most intense version of this sensation that I ever tasted, which is kinda counter intuitive since (as you described) you can feel it "drying out your mouth" a little as you drink.
Well.... Gotta resist this stuff now, didn't think it would be a bigger temptation after I tried it 😂

Most elements become denser when they cool, but water becomes less dense due to the unique way hydrogen atoms behave. It's this lack of density that allows water to accumulate more oxygen as it freezes. The difference in taste in freshly melted water opposed to normal water has to do with this difference in oxygen consistency.
It's the same reason ice floats, by the way.

Great video imma leave a like.
It's sorta like particle-flow versus fluid-flow, when a specific type of water is introduced to the taste buds as fluid-flow, it would then appear to have a momentary effect on the molecular particle-flow regime within the taste buds. This momentary effect of being able to taste the water would be like discharging small capacitors locked in series to the brains connective-paths. When the taste-buds are triggered the particle-flow to the brain and back to the taste bud pre-amps begains neutralizing the potential difference. What's interesting to me is... What is that mechanism that allows taste buds to build back up that potential difference when the taste-buds are not being used? I love your videos ❤️
1:15 is this kind of like when you come back to your house after being gone on a long trip and you can smell the scent of your house for a bit when you first walk in?
Not sure if anyone else knows what I’m talking about lol
It happened to me once
Similar. From what I have read the olfactory receptors take time to reset after they have been excited by binding to a molecule. Since there are only a finite amount of the different types, you can effectively desensitize your sense of smell with constant stimulation or over stimulation. It has a benefit of allowing new smells to be picked out easier as they won't be masked by the environment. Such as finding food or sensing danger like smoke. There are several noxious gasses that if you smell it, it means danger but if the smell vanishes it can mean the concentration has increased drastically and mediate danger. Hydrogen Sulphide for example.
Yeup I understand that....I'm gonna be goin home in a few days ...not excited for that sensation
@@xenno8496 How did you feel? it would be awful and embarrassing if it smells disgusting
Yes. Exactly that, it's "taste blindness"
We are used to drinking close to 0 ppm distilled water for extended periods of time. Then when I come back home the water here tastes extremely salty for a few weeks.
0ppm water is easier to drink when cold. When at room temp it feels more bitter.
offshore worker?
I love distilled water, it's the only type I drink. Anyone that comes to visit and pours a glass out of the fridge notes how nice and refreshing it is
It is the same like saying “im wondering how it feels to be on the top of a building, and also what would happen if I jumped off of it”.
Yes, the real danger from pure water is the excessive osmotic pressure it places on the wall of the cells it touches.
By the time the water gets in the stomach, it contains enough impurities to become innocuous. But the tongue is exposed to a continuous stream of pure water, and therefore bears most of its damaging effect on the superficial cells. Which, as he correctly reports, are analogues to the effects of hot water.
Half to one gram per liter of salt is enough to make deionised water innocuous. Note that saliva contains nine gram per liter of salt, the same as seawater...
i call BS on the seawater part. if that was the case, why does seawater taste so freaking salty?

Still.... Pure water kills you pretty easily.
The colloquial water we chug down, just like alcohol, is chemically speaking a solution that's only good for you in moderation.
Drinking water with absolutely no salt in it is about the same as drinking sea water.
It's burn tongue
To be honest i haven't subscribed yet. I've been watching your channel for last 2-3 months without missing any video and now i fell like it worth the subscribe button! Great Job so far buddy.
Before I made a TH-cam channel I actually never subscribed to anyone, so I understand :-)
LOL just hit that subscribe button!!! xD
Makes it so much easier to find his channel and latest videos, you just write lab and get Cody's and Action right at the top!
And don't forget the bell!
I subbed to this guy in a day, because it was the channel I was looking for. This is the best! 😃
X Xyphos yeah his videos really quench your curiosity..
Really? I thought it's only me watching a youtuber and watching all of his videos, but not subscribing. Good to know I'm not alone :D
you have the perfect sense of humour
Taste bud receptors work pretty much like endo-cannabinoid receptors in our body. While the receptors are "blocked" by something, you build tolerance. But that tolerance is simply the inability of the particles to access the receptors. When you increase dosage, you jampack them in, and get a higher reaction.
“Hmm, not bad”

I wish you were my science teacher I would actually pay attention
_ssaevol no, you wish my former science teacher was yours. She hands out candy almost every week, and she lets us sleep in class. Plus I got to teach a class once, and she is very polite, and she doesn’t bring politics into mind ever. But yes, I would pay attention too.
MacroBeast Nice one. XD
Not me, he talks about water having taste receptors.
Your tongue has the taste receptors. water isnt tasting you when you drink it.
Professor Ouranos hell no action lab is much better
Great video. can you also do a video about Distilled water. And is distilled water really bad for you?
Absolute fantastic video man, I was on board the entire time.
Shout out for putting the ad at the end. Fucking ads.
this guy is lit, he’s the only guy who actually starts the video at 0:00.
Yeah, instead of spending a year on that "WHAT'S up everyone, this is The Action Lab hitting it up with a brand new video, oh and by the way don't forget to smash that Like button and subscribe!" crap.
4sho. No intro. this guy is the boss
he doesnt need the intro, he has the time he needs of quality content
Yeah he is like VSAUCE but he does experiments.
Daily dose of internet
I'm thirsty now
Same
Huh xD
Drink the hydration juice
Hi thirsty now
F
So that's why when I dry my tongue it tastes salty there are very teeny tiny drops of saliva on my tongue
Thank you for providing me such knowledge
This was really interesting. I live in the middle of Sweden and drink a lot of tap water. I like the taste here, but if I go somewhere else in the country it tastes bad. I drank filtered water in another town and that was better. And forget about water in other countries, filtered or not it's disgusting. Especially in the US. Super metallic. I even had to order bottled water in a restaurant, it was as expensive as the wine bottle the other ones had. I don't drink much other things than water. Sometimes a soda or a flat flavoured water with minerals and vitamins.
_Is this guy a meme yet lol_
@@lynettebalkissoon8394 if you banged my mom then how is she a meme🤔
_yes_
lol
Lynette Balkissoon you are not funny
yes. bc
On your tongue you have about ten thousand taste *butts*
Drinking absolutely pure water can kill you. All the water we normally drink - from taps, from bottles, from the garden hose - contains impurities which affect a property of water called tonicity. This is the ability of a solution to draw or repel water from ajacent solutions when separated by a membrane. Solutions that are hypertonic gain water, while hypotonic solutions lose water. Drinking water, which we usually think of as pure, really contains a whole mess of salts and sugars which make it slightly hypertonic. They also give water its taste. The cytoplasm in the cells of your body also have a tonicity. So, when they are exposed to hypertonic solutions, the cells themselves lose water and shrivel up. When they are in hypotonic solutions, they gain water, swelling up and bursting like a balloon. Absolutely pure water -with no impurities at all - is the most hypotonic solution. So, if you drink enough of it, your cells will start absorbing water. This disturbs the balance of electrolytes (electrically conductive ions) in your body. This is most seriously a problem in the brain, where water poisoning can lead to brain damage, coma and even death.
We had that in school like 10 weeks ago xD
Humans can't breath pure oxegen or drink pure water. Curse our complex chemical needs!
So is that how a person can die from too much water, even if it's not hypotonic?

At the end you probably also described why the mouth feels dry after drinking deionised water. Osmosis is what‘s happening there and it is the movement of solvent (water) to a point where the ion concentration is higher (your tongues cells). The body uses this phenomenon a lot, for example in the kidneys to reabsorb water so we don‘t have to drink 20 liters a day
Some people are not just a good team but still a great team
so that's why i can't taste my tongue...
Lmao yes
when you bite it open you can, same with tomatoes, you can't feel their taste until you try the inside hahah
Omg ur right
@@spindle_shank
Ugh, the images...
5:00 when he drinks it
big dog bless you omg
Thank you.
big dog thx so much
Thank you
big dog 5 min. Thanks😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guy on my boat drank DI water destined for a nuc reactor primary loop. Didn't kill him, but had side effects. Not only was his physical body injured, but also his career in submarines.
I'm not sure what "type 2" is but reactor plant coolant is pretty pure, and it tastes very dry, like a dry wine. It makes great hot chocolate or coffee though.
