Theory fails to hold water
RESEARCH from the US has poured cold water on the common belief that drinking eight glasses of water a day will improve your health. Experts have claimed drinking more water can clear toxins, keep organs healthy, ward off weight gain and headaches and improve skin tone. But these claims are not backed by solid evidence, the researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found. Dr Dan Negoianu and Dr Stanley Goldfarb said that most people did not need to worry about drinking eight glasses of water a day.
