8 Glasses Of Water A Day Theory Is All Tapped Out

A report from the University of Pennsylvania confirms what I have been saying for years--drinking eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy is a load of crap:

The belief that we need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy is a myth, researchers say.

There is no solid evidence that drinking plenty of pure water is good for the skin, wards off weight gain or helps rid the body of toxins.

Instead, most of us get all the fluids we need to avoid dehydration from food and other drinks, including tea and coffee.

Patients with some diseases also benefit from additional fluid.

"But no such data exist for average, healthy individuals,"

Who started the myth that drinking eight glasses of water was good for your health? We'll never know, vermin that make false claims like that always seem to slink underneath a rock when the truth comes out. Maybe it was Richard Simmons, I'm not sure.

Remember--believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see...
