Good fact-check! You’re right that drinking too much water can be harmful, but the article doesn’t really prove it’s as bad as or worse than dehydration. Severe dehydration can be deadly, while water toxicity is rare and usually happens from drinking extreme amounts too fast. According to the Mayo Clinic, water toxicity (or hyponatremia) typically occurs when a person drinks a large amount of water in a short period, which is uncommon for most people (Mayo Clinic). Also, healthy kidneys can handle a lot of water unless someone has a medical condition. It would help to find a source that explains how much is actually “too much.” Your point is good, but it might sound scarier than it really is. A little more detail or another source could make it even better!
