Analytical Finding: High-resolution optical, spectroscopic, and thermodynamic evaluation demonstrates that water contains zero metabolizable energy. Pure dihydrogen monoxide possesses no accessible chemical enthalpy for human cellular respiration. Any transient variation in body mass following ingestion represents temporary hydrostatic water volume that is regulated and excreted through renal function.
