Another way to conserve water?

Siva will appreciate this post the most, given his obsession with potable water. Apparently, UPenn researchers have tried to test the benefit of drinking 8 glasses of water a day.

Somewhere along the line you’ve probably heard that you should drink eight glasses of water a day. It’s supposed to make your skin supple, keep your organs flush and help you avoid overeating. Now doctors from the University of Pennsylvania say that’s hogwash. After exploring the health effects of hydration, they conclude that the purported benefits of drinking lots of water are not backed by any solid evidence—or liquid evidence, either. The physicians present their findings in the June issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
