We are also talking 2 liters Not 2 Gallons. Certainly he wasn`t going to space out 2 liters of liquid in a day period.
The real argument is about dilution itself. Chick and company seem to think diluting sugar with water will cause less of an Insulin "Spike" due to the introduction of water. They think that diluting 1 gram of sugar with water will somehow magically lower the effect of insulin response of 1 gram of sugar.
That was their original intent. Scroll back up and read. Quite hillarious that they could be so stupid.
Yeah, well, it's obviously basic chemistry that the addition of water (unless it results in a chemical reaction of course) doesn't change the total amount of the original compound- merely the concentration.
I haven't really been following this thread save for page three- it looked like the argument is that the addition of water means that the drinker takes a longer time to consume the mixture, and so the total amount of sugar consumed per minute/hour is lowered. Hence, lower insulin response.
Which, of course, is spot on.
Perhaps an innocent mistake was made and ammended. They're agreeing with you now, so they're surely not stupid.
