Hardly new.

The Romans knew all about the restorative attributes of water.

Sanitas per aqua.

You're right. It isn't new, but it does seem to be forgotten.

But dihydrogen monoxide, to give "water" its proper name, is a very dangerous chemical as shown at http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

A good joke but also illustrates how the lack of scientific knowledge and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears. Parallels with the speed debate,

I agree entirely. The lack of knowledge of scientific concepts such as RTTM, 'bias on selection', as well as long-term trends, do indeed result with exaggerated analysis and do indeed lead to misplaced fears - and policies.
