spatts, its total BS. In any event, the human body has no difficulty absorbing water. In fact, all one need do to increase the absorbsion of water into their cells is to sit down and continually drink water until it delutes the solute in your blood and creates a hypotonic solution in your blood, and which point all of your cells will begin to absorb water until the solution inside the cells is isotonic to the solution outside the cells. This can be quite fatal, and in fact can cause cells to actually burst. If this "special" water were to be more easily absorbed into the cells of the body, by more easily passing the semi-permiable cell membranes, thus needing less of a concentration gradient to force it in, then it would be very deadly to drink.
