    Who says you need to drink eight glasses of water a day? - Slate Magazine

    So you don't really need 8 glasses of water a day! It's an idea that's been around for almost 200 years and surprisingly, no one revisited it seriously until recently.

    Quoted: A recent editorial in the Journal of the American Society for Nephrology is getting wide press coverage for debunking the so-called "8x8" theory—the popularly held belief that drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily helps remove toxins, improve skin tone, and increase satiety, among other health benefits. The authors chalk up the belief to folklore.

      This may be true, but I definitely notice a difference when I don't drink my daily dose!
