I'll tell you white girls LOVE water bottles. Some Asian, but mostly white girls specifically. I don't get it, water bottles are ubiquitous.
Remember swell bottles? Remember Yetis? Remember those filtration bottles? Remember nalgeens?
The "you're not drinking enough water" propaganda has been around and effective for decades.
It's not like your pituitary gland, adrenal glands and kidneys have an almost perfectly tuned system to autistically monitor osmolality and make you thirsty as needed.
Time and time again: if you want to sell bullshit, market it to women.
Also an healthy person can go through days without eating and drinking without any ill effects if they're not doing physically intensive activities
To a degree.
A limiting factor is that the kidneys need free water volume to excrete waste products accumulating in the blood through normal biochemistry processes.
There's absolute limits to the degree that the kidney can concentrate waste products in urine to preserve volume. Fairly quickly, the waste products backup causing delirium and poor clotting and kidney failure.
You are correct that a few days is probably fine for a healthy person, but the kidneys start breaking down very quickly beyond that without additional fluid volume to replace natural losses and allow excretion of waste.
The body also produces its own water when it burns through the stored glycogen and fats, if you burn enough stored calories, it'd be enough to give the body the minimum it needs to get rid of the wastes. the longest dry fasting record is 21 days
Alex Jones needs to sell those.
I'M TIRED OF THEM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURNS THE FREAKING FROGS GAY!!!
