I know there is a lot of information around about water. There are so many types of drinking water, but I came across a reel on Instagram recently where someone was saying that water is a scam.
Water is a scam.
Not bottled water . . . (not going there), but WATER. He basically said you don’t need to drink water because it is not a protein, fat, or carb. He said it was a solvent so it is dissolving your body.
“The fact that people say it is hydrating your cells is crap. It’s not a carbohydrate, its not a fat, it’s not a protein, literally a solvent. You put any type of material in water it dissolves it. That’s what it’s doing to your body. . . . . If you want to hydrate you have fats, you have juices, you have somethings that your cells can actually utilize.” – Gavin Mayo
Have you see that?
I was looking at a previous post, Water, and remembered that reel, then I remembered that young woman, Jodi Vance, the 20 year-old body builder who just died (March 4, 2025) from “complications of severe dehydration”. This post started out as something I think is funny, but then while I was typing it and being baffled it reminded me of the body builder. It is possible for your body to shut down when you do not have enough hydration. I hope people are not listening to that Gavin guy. Ms. Vance may have been following a regime to prepare for a competition, but last I read the people that would know said there was no competition scheduled that would require her to be doing anything extraordinary.
I found a “stitch” on the reel. Martin Riese, “stands as a global authority in the realm of water, renowned as the world’s foremost water sommelier.” Here is his Youtube video that includes Gavin’s claims.
