Neil regularly gets osmosis wrong and thinks it/distilled water can "suck minerals" from your body, something I was taught repeatedly in basic A&P, biology, and chemistry, that isnt true bc osmosis is the movement of water, not solutes.

Well, considering that's not astrophysics, I can't say I'm surprised. Not trying to defend the guy; he can be confidently wrong and a dick at times and should be more aware of what he doesn't know. On the other hand, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Bill.
