Food (or drink) for thought

Very interesting read

Why am I not surprised that the drink 2 + litres of water per day research was sponsored by a mineral water company. How much of our present day diet is driven by marketing rather than common sense and thousands of years of human experience.

All a big con like most other healthy eating/drinking ideas. Too much fast food leads to obesity might well be true, but excess of many things is not good for us, and that has been proved without sponsorship by interested companies.

Too much alcohol, too much tobacco, too much addictive drugs, all life shortening things. Who knows, maybe too much exercise will be next?

I read something similar a few years ago. They said that any liquid counted toward your daily needs including water contained in food as well. I naturally drink quite a bit of water, with meals and taking tablets etc, but more in the Summer. Let your body tell you what it needs is my motto. I occasionally crave foods that I do not usually need such as beetroot. Discounting the pregnancy theory I can only think that my body is telling me that it needs certain minerals etc.

My heart specialist told me to drink a glass of red wine every day. Luckily three other doctors said the same thing as well.....
