Oxygen Rich Water Warning (color me a skeptic)

[Rick Inman]

Someone just gave me a bottle of oxygen rich water (whatever that means) and warned me not to go diving after I drink it.

Right.

What say you science/medical experts?

This was fun when we did it. I loved putting water through the blood gas machine.

Some of us caught wind of such products and there were two immediate rebuttals: 1) Such ingested O2 would be absorbed into the venous system which will pass through the lungs anyway before reaching the nourishing arterial circuit. 2) Arterial hemoglobin is already typically up around 98% saturated and so additional O2, bound to the existing quantity of hemoglobin, would be of small benefit.

So what's it's compound?? H206?

Water made from ozone?

I don't know anything about so-called "oxygen rich water", but if I did the math right, a liter of room temperature 1 ata water saturates with about a cubic inch of air. Gene's Rubicon paper found a max of about 5 cu. in (supersaturated?). That's what, a slightly deeper than usual breath?

Oxygen rich water means that they're selling water that will make them rich. Heck, it's already "dihydro-oxide."

What a crock.

The "Oxygen Therapy and Oral Oxygen Therapy" section where they attempt to justify the manufacture and use of such a product is laughable (and beyond).

Thanks for posting this, Timoblue.

I was given a gallon last year to try. Tasted a bit funny but I noticed zero difference. Used the remaining 1/2 gallon to water the plants. Don't think they noticed any increased energy either.
