The First Lady recommended that children drink one more glass of water per day. So that is the relevant amount under discussion not the4 crazy shit cons made up.
It would benefit you to reflect on the First Law of Holes. You are misrepresenting facts again. Nobody has objected to drinking one more glass of water a day. What provoked raised eyebrows was the First Lady's claim that water is an "energy drink," and the advice implicit in her recounting of the First Family's experience that "the more water we drank, the better we felt."
K.
A really absurd argument that you are making. Water does give much in the way of energy. A good understanding of what the human body is composed of, would tell you that without water, our bodies would simply not operate at all. What happens to the human body when its without water for six hours? It tends to degrade in ability. And after twelve? Headaches, nausea, weakness of limbs. How about twenty-four hours? Take what happens after 'twelve hours' and amplify it by a factor of eighteen. After thirty-six hours? The person is laying on the ground and near death. Go ahead, B.S. to someone that teaches (and does) survival. Without water, the body wears down, makes dumb mistakes (leading to further problems) and dies without a good supply of fresh, clean water. Yes, water gives energy and can be considered an energy drink.
Now, combined OTHER chemicals with H2O has led to a new type of drink people have dubbed an 'energy drink'. I believe the First Lady and most 'sane', 'intelligent' and 'reasonable' people can understand the difference. The same as people can understand that while a pound of feathers verse rocks have several different attributes, but they BOTH weigh one pound.
Ridiculous argument. energy drink means something in the vernacular. You don't get to make up what you think it means.
By this argument, air is an energy drink .. because the body "dies without a good supply". Ditto food and shelter.
Energy drinks are characterized by high calories (energy) as well as high concentrations of stimulants (caffeine) and things with promote blood sugar levels (B12 etc).
Water does none of these things.
And since we're on the subject of a pound of feathers.. which weighs more - a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
