If salt is edible and water is, why is drinking saltwater not good for you? Like sometimes you have to swish warm saltwater around in your mouth and getting ocean water in your mouth is okay so why us drinking it bad?
In: Biology
Taking a small sip of saltwater is no worse for you than eating a little bit of salty food. It’s only bad if you drink more of it. The thing is that it’s so salty that your body loses water when you drink it rather than gaining water, so you can’t use it to supply the water that your body needs to function.
