"There is little evidence that drinking loads of water, a recommended 8 glasses of 8 ounces (8x8) per day, improves your health, say scientists from the University of Pennsylvania. The two kidney experts explained that unless you are an athlete or live in a hot place, drinking extra water may be a waste of time...Water might help us swallow and flush through the other crap they feed us about health, diet, weight loss and fitness.
It has been claimed that consuming lots of water clears toxins, keeps organs in best condition, improves skin tone and prevents you from putting on weight. The researchers say the evidence to support these claims is very far from compelling.
The researchers explain that we all know what effect dehydration can have on us - as humans, we cannot survive more than several days without water. However, very little research has been carried out on what affect (sic) drinking extra water (fluids) may have on human health."
