camille65 -> Water water everywhere, but so is juice and tea (5/21/2008 5:15:56 AM)
"There has been research out there for a while that the eight, 8-ounce glasses a day has no research to back up it at all," http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/05/16/hfh.water.guidelines/index.html I hear so many people saying that we have to drink that 8 8oz amount of water yet I've also been hearing for quite awhile that the concept is off. So I found this article to be both timely and interesting, if one takes the time to research the background of the water concept it is rather astonishing. From the late 1800's when a doctor purported the idea all the way up to current times. Then a book came out during the 1970's that pushed the idea again. http://ajpregu.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/283/5/R993 Midway down the 'Abstract' section is really quite fascinating. It could be that it is just fascinating to weirdo knowledge geek types like me though lol, but hey who knows. Those that are coffee/tea/juice drinkers will be happy to see that the liquid in those beverages do count. Yes caffeine can be problematic for some but that doesn't mean it is a problem for everyone.

The main problem is there are just as many studies to dispute the article as well. Just as, everything gives us cancer but if we eat " " we won't get cancer. Next week it is back to cancer causing again.

Research or not, I feel better when I drink water throughout the day. If I match water after coffee, have some OJ and hydrate (without sugar) after exercise then I feel right and things seem to function better internally.

The 64 oz of water rule is a good rule of thumb, and that's all it should ever be. Hydration needs are driven by a host of factors so I'm not surprised there's not a large body of research supporting a specific quantity of water to consume daily. Basically, drinking water (or coffee or tea or fruit juice, but NOT sodas like Coca-Cola, Pespi, Dr Pepper, etc.) is a healthy choice, and one that should be done liberally.

The water bit was a misquote from World Health Organization. Often misquoted by those selling fad diets. The study showed that adults need 64oz of water per day to stay healthy. This includes the water you get from food. You don't need 8 glasses of water besides what you get in your meals. Stefan

I usually drink 60-80 oz. of water a day. That's aside from the juice, coffee, or soda I drink. I like to hope that the water cuts the Coke Cherry Zero that I'm addicted to.

Tea does indeed count, camille; I read a blog by a Dr Mike Eades, and he once said: quote: It has always amazed me that so many people don’t realize that coffee, tea and all the rest are 99 percent water. If you take a cup of hot water and steep a tea bag in it, does that make the water disappear? No. He's right!
