I used to know someone who had to use water thickeners because of their MS. They couldn’t properly swallow fluids anymore, so they consumed e.g. thickened tea on a spoon.
Thick water? No, it’s meant for people that have trouble drinking water, either because of the consistency, or a disability that prevents them from drinking it.
In what way is sirup or honey easier to swallow than water? I’m asking for real because if anything I see it as quite the opposite. There’s a reason one blends food for people who have trouble swallowing solids
As someone else mentioned, it can be consumed with a spoon, for example. It can be as thick as honey, so you wouldn’t necessarily be drinking it from a glass.
Near the end of his life my father had a condition that made it hard to close off his windpipe when taking a sip of water. They gave him thickened water in hospital to help with that.
This is satire?
Nope it’s real. It’s useful for certain medical conditions
