does milk count as water?

It surprises me that people constantly try to change the system that this site already has in place. The water count does not say "We recommend you drink 8 glasses of hydrating liquid" it says "We recommend that you drink at least 8 cups of water a day". Water counts as Water, nothing else.0

No, milk is milk. Water is water. Tea is not water, soda is not water, sports drinks are not water! It makes a difference when you are drinking enough actual water.0

So, did you come to any conclusions? Are you going with 1) it's a liquid mostly of comprised of H20 and count it or 2) taking the stance that it's milk, not water? There is only one scientific answer btw.
again i state. i was just wondering if milk counted towards the amount of water i need to drink in a day not if it actually was water but if i needed to drink just as much or even more water because of the milk i drinkI know it is late, but is this a serious question? Water is water, milk is milk...pretty self explanatory

milk is a dairy, it's not the same as water. it's a food group!
Milk is almost 90% water. Think back to high school chemistry. Water is a molecule. Milk is composed of many molecules (fat, protein, milk sugars...). In the intestines, the body absorbs molecules individually. So the water "sees" the water molecules as water, the fat molecules as fat, ect. The body doesn't "see" milk.It surprises me that people constantly try to change the system that this site already has in place. The water count does not say "We recommend you drink 8 glasses of hydrating liquid" it says "We recommend that you drink at least 8 cups of water a day". Water counts as Water, nothing else.
It's also a recommendation that hasn't been given by any credible source and has long been disproved. I have no idea why they say it.No, milk is milk. Water is water. Tea is not water, soda is not water, sports drinks are not water! It makes a difference when you are drinking enough actual water.
How? In terms of hydration?0 -
Yeah, could you imagine the health consequences if someone didn't drink water, considering water is needed for life itself.It surprises me that people constantly try to change the system that this site already has in place.

Seriously? Good luck with your nutritional needs.

In my book milk counts as milk, water as water and tea as tea.....
Well, sure, if you wanna be rational about it. But can't I just have a chocolate shake and call it water?0 -
The logic all goes back to my previous post - if I put peanut butter on my fried chicken, it's not fried chicken anymore because even though it started out as fried chicken, now it has something else on it, so it's magically no longer fried chicken. That makes just as much sense as saying tea isn't water anymore because you dunked a bag into it and changed its color, or that milk doesn't hydrate you just like water does because even though it's 90+% water, it has a few additional ingredients in it.No, milk is milk. Water is water. Tea is not water, soda is not water, sports drinks are not water! It makes a difference when you are drinking enough actual water.

I got what you were saying.. I was goofing around when I talked about skim cows because for the longest time I had no clue that when fat was removed from the milk it was replaced with water. Make perfect sense now, it's rather like white water...with no raft.to everyone who thinks that i actually was wondering if milk was water no i am not that dumb. and since you didnt get it i mean that since i drink alot of milk do i count that toward the amount of water i need to drink in order to stay hydrated
to everyone else thanks for the info
I say it's hydrating your body... so drink up! :drinker: 0 -
thats what im leaning toward.

Honestly? I just keep an eye on my pee. Some days I'm thirsty all day and suck water down like a fish. Other days, I don't feel like drinking that much, so I just keep an eye on the color and drink when I feel like it or need to. If it's a pale yellow or close to color-less, you're plenty hydrated. Everyone has a different magic number. You'll find yours.
You collect your pee? are you drinking that for hydration? I'm confused now.0 -

No, Water is used to rid the body of unhealthy toxins. Water also fills the stomach, doesn't add calories and makes you less hungry. If you drink a glass of water before a meal, your less likely to eat as much. Therefore it's extremely important. If a person has high cholesterol, drinking water is better and reduces the weight in a healthy way. I know, I drank coffee tea and milk all the time but until I started drinking 8 cups of water per day, I didn't start to lose weight.0

It has to be filtered. Otherwise, you're going to end up constantly increasing the concentration of everything you're peeing out. Rookie pee-drinker move.0 -
