However, simple diffusion across a membrane is SLOW. They state that their "clustering" would have no effect on aquaporins, but MAYBE it speeds up simple diffusion. Well that's like standing on the back of your power boat and blowing as hard as you can to try to make it go faster.

NICE! Someone who knows their cell bio.
Now if someone picks up a bottle of this crap... pour it out in a container, weigh it, empty the container and fill it up with regular water and weigh it again (well...weigh the container first and subtract that out from each measurement). If what they claim is true then this Penta-garbage will be 30% heavier, which I'd put a hell of a lot of money on not happening. That being said, if the water still boils at a higher temperature and isn't more dense, then that actually means there's other stuff dissolved in it. Dissolved solute decreases the freezing/fusion temperature and increases the boiling/dew point.
Anyone remember oxygen water? "Yay! Now we can drink our oxygen, too! We can just drink water and then we won't have to breathe!!!"
Stupid ****ing water companies.
