Yep, even water is bad for you

Posted June 8th, 2003 by AlphaPatriot and filed in Miscellaneous

We’ve heard it before, but new research shows too much water is ‘bad for your health’ (money quote is at the end):

So how much is safe to sip? “Aim to consume about a quarter of a pint [three-quarters of a cup] of fluid for every hour of exercise,” Dr Tunstall Pedoe advised. “More than that is not really advisable, unless it is very hot.”

And here I was choking down 8 cups before breakfast.

    I’ve always thought that the whole, 80oz thing was overdoing it. It’s hard to drink that much water during the day. It’s hard to drink that much of anything….well…certain beverages aren’t…but I mean, everyday.
    What bugs me the most about this article is they don’t bother to tell the reader what measurement equals, “4 glasses a day.”
    What kind of glasses? Not all glasses that are considered, “normal”, hold the same volume.
