One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University study.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen.

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

    Hell yeah! Water is way neglected. I drink about 3-4 liters a day, depending on my workout. If you got dark yellow/brown piss, you got some serious issues.

    this is funny... i get those water bottles by the case as all of my family is water drinkers on the go and we constantly lose our nalgene bottles.
    Anyway, someone said how many ounces they drink and that caused me to look at my bottle- it has double what I have been counting for months!
    No wonder I could never get 8 in on my food diary! I was already doing 10.

    Silly girl. Funny thing is I look at all my other lables all the time- never thought to look at water.

    I put my gold fish in a tank of beer... he went belly-up. Did the same thing to myself (only fair, right)? Same thing happened.
