OT -- Research debunks health value of guzzling water
Research debunks health value of guzzling water
http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSN0236679720080402 http://tinyurl.com/24sha2 Wed Apr 2, 2008 6:32pm EDT By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The notion that guzzling glasses of water to flood yourself with good health is all wet, researchers said on Wednesday. Dr. Stanley Goldfarb and Dr. Dan Negoianu of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia reviewed the scientific literature on the health effects of drinking lots of water. People in hot, dry climates and athletes have an increased need for water, and people with certain diseases do better with increased fluid intake, they found. But for average healthy people, more water does not seem to mean better health, they said. As far as facilitating toxin excretion, Goldfarb said that was not verified by any sort of scientific study.
