re: Bruce Lee: it's called 'hypernatraemia', not 'hypo'. Hyper means too much; hypo means not enough. 'Nat' is from Latin; in English, it survives in words such as 'natatorium', which is a place for swimming. ...Deaths from hypernatraemia are not as uncommon as one might supposed. And persons who drink obsessive amounts of water become much less healthy than they think they are. I've seen it in athletes I've coached, where was able to measure it in their performance, also in persons following extreme diets. if you pee clear once a day, you're getting plenty of water; if it's much more often than that, you're getting too much.
