Is it true that drinking too much water flushes out the vitamins and nutrients you need?
Anyone know if this is true?

no. your body uses all the vitamins it can. the EXCESS is flushed out by the water. actually, only the watersoluble type of vitamins are flushed out , like vitamin b complex and vitamin c.

Three incorrect answers in a row. Impressive.
OP, see the following:

ETA: I just noticed this is a 7 year bump. Why, iPwNy? Did you think the OP was still looking for an answer so you'd thought you'd help him out by posting inaccurate information?Last edited by x-ray vision; 07-31-2011 at 06:44 AM.

sparkleys, are you saying urinating is nothing to worry about or drinking too much water is nothing to worry about?
If the link I already posted wasn't enough to convince you that overhydration isn't harmless, see the following:

i been drinking 2 or more gallons of water each day and haven't had a single problem, why? because im incredibly active and require this amount of water on some days. most of these studies concern the average person not the type of people you would find on this forum, furthermore i really cant stand people who cut a paste links of other peoples research then act condescending to other people for not being aware of it.

You can drown yourself from the inside by drinking too much water.

It doesn't matter what the first study says in regards to your claim. Marathon runners have fallen ill, gravely ill, and have died due to over consumption of water.
You said "most of these studies concern the average person not the type of people you would find on this forum"
In what way do you think members of this forum differ from average people that would lessen the risks of overhydration to any considerable degree?
saying that one loses water soluble vitamins through urine isnt really talking out of their ass.

I usually max out at 2 gallons a day and average 1.5...so I guess I'm good.
X-ray: do you know of any studies that take into account size or activity level? Do you think a 170 lb average male and me a 230 lb male have the same risk of overhydration?Best Meet Lifts:

^ I don't think there are any such studies. I just asked my wife about this (she's an NP) and she thinks the risks would be the same in most situations. I would have thought a 100lb adult would be at more of a risk of overhydration drinking 2.5 gallons a day then a 200lb. adult would be, but she's dealt with overhydration cases before so I'll defer to her. The link in my first response seems to concur.

My mind is obliterated...In your post I think you put the weight backwards (200, 100) and when I clicked quote it was (100, 200). Weird.
Anyways, it makes sense. Hear me out. It makes sense that two "fully hydrated" individuals of the same basic size would be at the same risk: same organ size. I would imagine if they were both dehydrated the larger could handle a small percentage more of water but it wouldn't be that significant.Best Meet Lifts:
