Myth: everyone needs the same amount
Fluid needs vary with context. Fixed universal targets ignore climate, food, activity and health conditions.
Myth: more water is always better
Overconsumption can be harmful. Adequate hydration is the goal, not maximizing volume.
Myth: a special bottle can replace nutrition or medical care
A bottle may support a habit or personal ritual, but it should not be presented as a substitute for evidence-based care.
Myth: evidence about water proves every water-related product claim
Research on ordinary hydration cannot be automatically transferred to crystal, alkaline, structured or other specialty-water claims.
