    Most don’t even drink water any more.

    Do you have a source for that or even honestly believe it yourself?

      We teach our students on family medicine interview to ask if patients ever drink a glass of water. Most students are shocked to hear how many people never drink beverages that aren’t sweetened. This is a North American phenomenon. Then, those patients are in clinic with obesity and eventually type 2 DM. In Europe , water is served with every meal.

      If you want to be a FIGJAM, research it yourself.

      Most countries teach children in schools how to eat healthy. For years, the FDA has called burger, fries Coke a balanced meal because corporate interests infiltrated government and universities. Harvard told us for decades sugar diets were better than high fat diets, because they were paid to. Candy bars were being sold as low fat healthy options , now people call them sports energy protein bars.

      No it’s fairly common when you include coffee and water in food for people to get by with rarely having just drink a glass of pure water.

      If we only drink soda, 45 gallons sounds disastrously small. Since we’re supposed to drink at least 64 Oz of water a day (or a gallon). We can’t possibly be that dehydrated.
