I don't know where you live, Michael, but I'm not a desert dweller,
and I assume that most of our readership would say the same.

"A portion" of the population is remarkably vague. In fact, it's so
vague as to be useless.

No, at best it's a warning that we could be. If you're a desert
dweller, you're going to be far more aware of water, and its scarcity,
than will some city dweller who has an unlimited supply from the
nearest faucet. It's bound to influence your behavior. I don't
suffer from the symptoms the article mentioned and I don't believe
that most other people do either. The whole "8 glasses of water per
day" thing is a myth.

Irrelevant. Study shows that our thirst mechanism is not sufficient
to drive optimal rehydration under some circumstances.
This serves as a pointer or warning that we are probably
dehydrated under less extreme circumstances.

I might tend to agree with you about the 8 glasses, but I also believe that
most of us do not drink enough water. I know that when I do remind myself
to drink enough, I also have more energy and generally feel better. Most
people drink coffee, tea, soda, but not in enough of a quantity to truly
quench thirst. Also many people interpret the feeling for thirst as hunger
and will eat instead of drink. Most treated (city) water tastes disgusting
and people will intuitively not drink their fill. It is a good idea to
remind oneself to drink more water, though I would not go so far as to say
that it causes any kind of illness not to.

Those "some circumstances" are "circumstances in which one is losing water
rapidly," usually due to heavy sweating and less frequently due to
diarrhea. In those circumstances, relying on thirst is a bad idea because
the water loss is likely to continue and any water consumed when thirst
sets in won't be absorbed instantaneously. But it's invalid to extrapolate
from circumstances involving heavy, prolonged water loss to normal
circumstances. Under normal circumstances, someone who drinks when they're
thirsty will restore their fluid balance pretty quickly.

When you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated ;-)

The people in the study had free access to water. As they say
"It is suggested that spontaneous voluntary water drinking in desert
dwellers is not enough to achieve a true state of "euhydration"."

Drinking water, in the past, was a health risk (parasites, water-hole
predation etc) which evolution traded off against the benefits by duilling
our thrist mechanism.

``Dehydration-induced drinking in humans

(involuntary dehydration) after fluid loss. Two factors unique to
humans that probably contribute to involuntary dehydration are
1) upright posture and 2) extracellular fluid and electrolyte loss

There's another problem in some older guys with
benign prostatic hyperplasia: they get tired of pee-
ing every 15-30 minutes, and so they consciously
restrict their water intake.

In reading the posts in this thread I am surprised that no one has
commented on one very real way aluminum gets into our bodies and,
perhaps, our brains.

During the 60's, the elderly suffered from "senility" while we were
using phosphates in our detergents to wash our clothes.

Now we use zeolites to wash our clothes ( among many other things )
and the elderly suffer from alzhiemers.

Zeolites ( molecular sieves ) are very small crystals capable of ion
exchange reactions which makes them useable for detergents, and are
also very thirsty molecules since they can absorb water very well.

We substituted zeolites for phosphates in the 60s. Have we exchanged
alzheimers for senility in the process?

The problem is that zeolites are not water soluble nor filterable by
modern water processers. Thus, the chemicals are in our water. Also,
these chemicals are added to coffee creamers ( look for sodium alumino
silicate ) to salt and other food stuffs to reduce caking since the
FDA thinks that they are safe to consume whithout telling you that you
are consuming them. However, in the human stomach, with its high HCL
content, these insoluble zeolites will be converted to water soluble
aluminum halides and possibly made blood soluble and able to penetrate
the blood brain barrier.

If this is true, you and I will have one hard time avoiding the
consequences of "Z E O L I T E " poisoning by consuming much of what
the modern food industry provides.

Slightly more specific:

``Relatively few studies have attempted to estimate people?s
actual water intakes. Stookey noted that the ?limited
evidence suggests that water intakes may vary considerably,
and that a sizeable proportion of Western adults may have
sub-optimal intakes? (ie chronically mildly dehydrated). [1]

A US nationwide dietary survey 1977-98 showed that the
median drinking water intake was less than one-third of the
recommended total amount.[2]

Stumbo et al [3] studied water intakes of lactating women and found
that one-third of their subjects had inadequate water intake ?
consuming less than 1ml water/kcal of energy expenditure.

I have worked in the zeolite industry for 10 years. I have studied and worked
in the health area for 40. You have just been treated to the opinion of an
"expert" at no cost to you.

I am hoping to fuel someones thought processes and maybe help keep our medical
research focused on the truthful path.

Unfortunately there is plenty of evidence that doesnt work either, for
example my dad exervised regularily every day, and the well known author
Iris Murdoch who was certainly intellectually active, died from Az.
