Fact et Fiction

[Guest guest]

Scott Witt observes:

 

The same researchers who found that glucosamine and chondroitin are

not effective in relieving arthritis pain have also learned that

water does not quench thirst. " The evidence is clear that people who

drink water are fooling themselves into believing they are no longer

thirsty, " said Dr. Allan Refling of the U.S. Institutes of Health.

 

Admitting that people can't trust old beliefs about what's good for

them (this was the fourth study in a year to find no benefit from

popular nutritional substances) Refling said that at least with

water, there are other uses, such as washing hands and clothing --

although there's also a study into whether those habits do any good,

either.
