There is a brand of bottled water in my country that has 9 grams of oxygen per liter. Does that oxygen offer any benefits or not? Is water high in oxygen content better than that low in oxygen content or it makes no difference?

this is all bullshit and just a marketing ploy to get more of your $$.
ALL water has oxygen, oxygen enters water when it comes to contact with it b/c water has a natural affinity for oxygen. it is possible to "saturate" water with oxygen but that just means no more oxygen will enter that water. or u could just leave your bottle of water open for a few minutes and it will have the same effect.
even notice when u leave a glass of water on the counter for a while little bubble start to build up on the walls of the glass? well, thats b/c the water has become saturated.
in short...dont waste your $$

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Does the company who bottles this "extra oxygen" water say it has any additional benefits?
Water is H2O. Two parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.

I'm not sure how they can add oxygen to water, because it would change the molecular compound of water h2o. Don't know the extra benefits of more oxygen.

It offers no benefits in bottled water. In natural water, oxygen helps destroy bacteria and organic contaminants, as well as supporting fish, but bottled water is sufficiently pure (one may hope!) that oxygen serves no useful purpose.

That's weird. Doesn't make any sense. Water is, by nature, 1/3 oxygen (Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom = H2O).

Tell me this is a joke!
Water is one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen (H2O).
If they added oxygen gas thats just plain silly and serves no purpose.

That my friend is called a marketing ploy...all water has oxygen in it. (Shake it..see the bubbles..)

Oxygen tastes great.... what?
Oh and H2 is diatomic gas, hydrogen is H. Highly flammable stuff we're talking here!

this is a sales gimmick ( has to be ) because water is partly oxygen ... hence h2O
