????????Drink Eight Glasses of Water a Day?????????

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

Those who are persuaded by the endless propaganda we hear about the

benefits of drinking large amounts of water daily need to read the

following. It is a news report on a study done after about a dozen

people died when the drinking water system became contaminated with e-

coli in a town in Ontario Canada.

The study claims it was drinking too much untainted water that caused

serious kidney problems in 5% of the population of the town.

It doesn't say what proportion of the population drank too much water

(it might possibly have been 5%). Nor does it say how much water is

too much.

I am providing this jfi. I have no expertise in the subject and have

no way of knowing whether the information is accurate.
