Default Re: Nutrition Questions and Dietary Fads

The density of the average American diet, from what I can see, makes its water content comparatively low. The food we eat tends to be highly concentrated. Huge proportions of the population also seems to drink almost anything BUT water. Vegetables and fruit are an afterthought, irregularly consumed, or consumed not at all for another great batch of us. So what water we would normally get from food, due to not eating balanced meals, we need to get elsewhere.

The fact that we often don't is what has led to so many women I know having kidney problems their doctors say they must drink more water to alleviate. The typical solution: don't drink any more water, and let the condition worsen.

We are extremely inflexible in our laziness and bad habits. In many ways, I think we've become a bizarre people.
