No it's not. If it were true, it would be a disadvantage for the other beverages, but not benefit of water. You haven't provided any links to published and peer reviewed studies proving it to be true, so right now, it's just broscience. Care to cite your sources? Duh!

What "toxins" do I need flushed that my kidneys and liver don't flush automatically?? Your kidneys and liver will remove toxins no matter what fluids you give them--water isn't magical. What benefit to the liver? This is nonsense. What does "good for your liver" even mean? In what way is it good? And BTW, toxin means…

Coke is fat free--even regular Coke. Completely, totally, 100% fat free. There is no "full fat coke." I have a friend who is a rocket scientist for NASA. Can I have her send you the data on this?

One thing the other stuff doesn't do. In point of fact, anything with caffeine will suppress appetite MORE than plain water since caffeine is an appetite suppressant. This thread is about things you can drink other than water to hydrate you. Water isn't better than other beverages at appetite supression. You said water had…

LOL :tongue: I didn't accuse her of saying anything logical. I'm a little confused that she seems to think I accused her of saying more than one thing. I only thought she said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you as well as water" but claimed she did not say that water with "stuff added" doesn't hydrate you. I was…

Name one. If there's "tons," it should be easy to name just one of them, right?

I'm sorry. Which thing didn't you say? I said you said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you as well as water." That's ALL I said you said. You denied saying that water with stuff added didn't hydrate as well as water. I replied that fizzy drinks and beer ARE water with stuff added. That's all they are. It doesn't…

Please cite the source. This sounds like more broscience. Muscle cramps are usually due to an imbalance in magnesium. Caffeine won't cause muscle cramps, but too little water can imbalance magnesium. It doesn't matter in what form you get the water; coffee's as good as tap or bottled plain water. And while the method of…

Fizzy drinks and beer are water with stuff added. If you said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you," you have said "adding something to water negates the positive effects of water." How do you think they make "fizzy drinks?" I'll tell you. They take water, and they add stuff to it. Are you now claiming that who adds…

Well, you weren't really on time either--this thread started yesterday--and clearly you're wrong when you say "i can be bothered [with grammar]." You're also wrong that plain water is more beneficial than any other water-based liquid for hydration. Please see the dozens of pieces of cited evidence in this post.

You started craving "water," or some other fluid, when you quit drinking soda because you reduced your fluid intake. But drinking soda only made you not drink water because it WAS HYDRATING YOU AS WELL AS WATER so you didn't need water!

You are entitled to your own opinions. You are not entitled to your own facts.

Sure it is, but it's no better at tydrating, and most of the fluids mentioned here--Crystal Light, Mio, diet soda--have no sugar in them either.

LOL See, I got that one! Apply it to your reply to me on the same subject, okay? :blushing: :tongue:

You're right, I don't usually catch sarcasm and/or irony. I understand them if I notice them and can sometimes even use them, but I often don't notice them. Even in person, as we (Aspies) seem to lack the ability to read body language as well. This appears to be biological, so there's a limit as to how well we can be…

Tea has calories? Wow. All these 53 years I though it was calorie free. I'll update the MFP database, which also lists it as calorie free. How many calories does it have?

Actually ocean water will HYDRATE you just fine. It will also imbalance electrolytes, primarily sodium. But it will still hydrate. And yes, some beverages like lemonade have sugar you might legitimately want to limit, but sugar isn't poison either and the point remains that you can drink absolutely no plain water ever and…

The water in the ocean is about as pure as lemonade. So if you believe lemonade is water, or Crystal Light is water, you can feel free to also believe the ocean is water. If you believe water must be pure to be water, there is no water on earth.

Her profile kept changing. I also saw it when she claimed she was 100 pounds and 5'2" and her goal was to lose 12 pounds. She revised it upwards, then deleted it. Perhaps you need to get better at recognizing trolls?

Lemonade IS water. At least as much as any water found in the human body is water, which is what you said--the body is 60% water not 60% lemonade. Lemonade is impure water. All the water in you is impure; much of it far less pure than lemonade. If it's not water after stuff is dissolved into it, then the human body is 0%…

It tastes sweet because it's sweetened. Erythritole is a sugar alcohol that is almost calorie free. Like xylitol, mannitol, or sorbitol. There is no reason sweetened beverages don't hydrate, but it's not like this is any different than diet soda.

Ah. But it's still necessary to make the espresso from water? And I never ask about people's calorie and macro targets. They're not my business.

I suppose there is a first time for everything.

Off topic, I know, but how do you make coffee from milk?

Did your mother know you weren't a virgin, back BEFORE you got married but AFTER you had sex the first time? Did you entertain any thoughts of telling her? We don't tell our moms these things, for the most part. I would most likely believe him if he said he was, under the circumstances that the OP posted. I WOULD NOT…

Well, unless they've tested him, having something "connected" (I think you mean correlated) with HPV doesn't mean he HAS HPV. It sounds like you're bitter, and you should be if doctors are "blaming" you for any illness, but maybe get some counseling. And get a new doctor.

Thanks for the ideological support...I think.

And as it happens, all those sources' links have been provided in this thread. Even if you provided the links again, you'd still get the reply "A doctor/trainer/study-I-heard-of-once-in-a-lullaby says you're wrong."

Well that means they didn't have a choice about NOT being a virgin. Are there people who are forced to BE virgins?

People keep saying they were a virgin "by choice." Do some of us here NOT have a choice to be a virgin?
