""The International Bottled Water Association, an industry trade group, continues to support the idea that everyone needs to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.""
Was anyone else thoroughly unsurprised by this?
I''m happy about the article in general; I hate when people bug me to drink more than I want to. Gee, you never know - maybe next, they''ll discover that people should only eat when they''re hungry...
I''m a bit suspicious of the writer of Pyro''s story. They mention the importance of potassium, but don''t mention potatoes which are probably the source of highest concentration. I can''t think of any reason they should have been left out other than the fact that you can fry ''em up and they taste good. So much of nutrition is about spreading misery...

Soft drink giant Coca-Cola has admitted it is selling purified tap water in a bottle.
It says the source for its new Dasani bottled water is the mains supply at its factory in Kent.
The company says Dasani is ""as pure as bottled water gets"" due to a ""highly sophisticated purification process"".
But the UK water industry is worried that the marketing of the product implies tap water is impure, which experts say is not the case.
Judith Snyder, brand PR manager for Dasani, confirmed ""municipal"" water supplies were used but said the source was ""irrelevant"" because it ""doesn''t affect the end result"".
She said: ""We would never say tap water isn''t drinkable.
""It''s just that Dasani is as pure as water can get - there are different levels of purity.""
Research published on Wednesday shows that UK consumers drank more then two billion litres of water in 2003 - up 18% on 2002.
Personally, I''ve found that drinking a lot of water makes a big difference in my complexion. If I go without drinking a couple of glasses of water each day for a week or so, I get a bit... weathered.

Bottled water: Biggest ripoff E-VAR! Makes the profit margin on soda look like chump change in comparison.
Whoever invented that should, in my opinion, be named ""Best Marketer in Human History."" Think about it: he took something readily available on the cheap or free and started selling it way beyond cost, and people keep buying it!
Actually My girlfriend works in a hospital and a while ago she asked me (as part of a medical experiment that was being carried out buy a colleague) to fill up several jars with urine which would be tested.
Now I drink only when I''m thirsty but when the results came back, basically the long and the short of it was if I don''t start drinking more (water here, beers and soda''s conatin too much salts and/or sugars) or else I''d wind up having kidney failure sometime in the nxt couple of years.
So basically now I try to drink at least 6 glasses a day - plain tap water not that rip off bottled crap!
I rarely drink anything but water. All day at work, all night at home. The only time I drink something different is when out I''ll get coke or beer. At work I take in those 32 bottles of Dasani for $6 deals, usually lasts me about a week. At home I have the biggest purifier Pur makes, I think it''s about a gallon, I usually fill it up every 2-3 days.
Coca-Cola is to recall all bottles of its Dasani water in the UK, after levels of bromate were found to exceed legal levels.
The recall is an embarrassment for the drinks giant, which has faced criticism for selling what is treated and purified tap water.
Coca-Cola said it had consulted the Food Standards Agency, which agreed there were no immediate safety fears.
The recall of about 500,000 bottles is expected to be completed in 24 hours.
Coca-Cola produces Dasani from mains water at a factory in Sidcup, Kent.
The company says Dasani - recently launched in the UK - is ""as pure as bottled water gets"" thanks to a ""highly sophisticated purification process"".
Bah, I don''t want to give them the required DNA sample to see the stupid story.
Yeah seriously, screw that crap.
Here''s another story that looks similar
When I read the thread title, I thought you were asking what the proper conditions were to keep water or something.
"Anakin, as embodied by [Hayden] Christensen, is the kind of needlessly moody kid you might see getting punched out in a Dairy Queen parking lot."
"”Paul Tatara on SW:Episode II
The only conditions I need for water are two hydrogen atoms plus one oxygen atom and no funky colors.
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

That''s interesting. Coupled with the recent studies against aerobics, the world is indeed changing.
Personally, drinking obscene amounts of water helped me lose a lot of weight, and I just feel better when I''ve had a few gallons a day.

Heh, ""The International Bottled Water Association"" does have something Monty Python-esque to it. Maybe that''s just me.
I think they have an office above the Society for Putting Things on Top Of Other Things.

I barely ever drink water. Makes me thirstier again. Can''t figure out why though. Basically I just drink juice, a lot of juice.
