Lots of water 'is little benefit'

Still think they have any idea what "healthy" consumption is?

They don't even understand water which has only two elements, oxygen and hydrogen, is ubiquitous and has been around way longer than most foods.

Do you really think they can understand the more complicated stuff?

If your answer is "Yes," do you understand that you are severely retarded?

"A scientific review by the University of Pennsylvania said some people, such as athletes, may need to drink a lot.

But they found little evidence that flushing out toxins through drinking copious amounts improved health."

More of the belief system nonsense and none of the science.

"The body's natural systems normally keep us topped up with water by making us feel thirsty, but various arguments are used to justify drinking extra.

It has been claimed that it can help remove toxic chemicals from the body, stop headaches, make you eat less, and even keep your skin healthier.

Dr Dan Negoianu, and Dr Stanley Goldfarb, writing the the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, say that while dehydration can be harmful, there is scant evidence that large amounts of water offer any benefits.

In fact, they said, there was no evidence supporting the standard US recommendation of '8x8' - eight glasses, each containing eight ounces of water (a total of 1.8litres), a day.

They wrote: 'There is no clear evidence of benefit from drinking increased amounts of water.'

...And while dehydration can change the appearance of skin, there were no studies which suggested any clinical benefit to skin tone from drinking more."

Just like the other fantasies in the nutrition domain, this one is without basis.

Success is based on reality.

Get real.
