SCIENCE DEBUNKS GUZZLING WATER

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.

"Our bottom line was that there was no real good science -- or much science at all -- behind these claims, that they represent probably folklore," Goldfarb said.

As far as facilitating toxin excretion, Goldfarb said that was not verified by any sort of scientific study. "The kidneys clear toxins. This is what the kidneys do. They do it very effectively. And they do it independently of how much water you take in. When you take in a lot of water, all you do is put out more urine but not more toxins in the urine," Goldfarb said.

No studies showed any benefit to skin tone as a result of increased water intake, they found. They also found evidence lacking that drinking water wards off headaches.

Oh lawd. Drink water when you need to drink. And don't drink when there's no need. The stupidity of non-physically active people has always made me angry. Most will probably use this study to say that they don't need to drink water anymore.

Yknow, I found an old 6-pack of crystal clear pepsi in my basement about 3 years ago. The vague memroies I had of it almost made me half tempted to try and drink it.

Lol, it's the soda troll.

Any moron will recognize that too much of anything, including water, is unhealthy.

Soda is still gay. You can justify it all you want, but you know deep down it's bad to drink.

Science says lots; then later proves those studies wrong. Next week some other group of egg heads will find the opposite...

I always thought the reason why water cleaned out your body was because it rinsed all the organs that it passed to and caused any sticking debris to unstick.

They needed a study to find this out? FUCKING GENIUS! What a way to rip money off of their benefactors (soda companies.)

so does this mean I can drink Pepsi and lose weight?

I thought that not drinking empty calories and drinking water in lieu of mindlessly munching were good tools for weight loss.

Once again, science has set me free. First Jesus, now water.

Too much is neither a good or bad thing, but a better alternative than too little.

What about all the studies which show that getting too little water and dehydrating are bad for you? Oh yeah, doesn't mesh with the coke agenda.

Pepsi etc. is pure sugar. Sugar causes insulin spikes which in turn reduces lipolysis. To wit: big source of sugar that inhibits fat loss and you're drinking it every couple of hours. You tell me.

Don't drink too much water, your body will adapt to being used to getting a lot of H2O, so if you're in a survival situation your body will shut down and make it very uncomfortable for you. Just drink until you thirst is quenched.

Years of living in desert. We don't sweat out here in Arizona as much as the snowbirds when they come down. Drink enough to stay hydrated, but always make sure you have extra water on hand. Although if you're physically active, of course you'll need more water. God you're such a noob.

Science says to drink 8 glasses of water. Science says don't drink glasses of water. Do you need science to tell you a dog is a fucking dog?
