Our source for this article was a review authored by Heinz Valtin, MD and published in the American Journal of Physiology.

Dr Valtin , professor emeritus of physiology at Dartmouth Medical School is a kidney specialist and the author of text books on the subject.

He has found no scientific studies to support the eight glasses of water a day requirement.

The origin may have been a recommendation by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council that an intake of 1 millilitre of water to each calorie of food would amount to about two to two and a half quarts of water a day. The next sentence states that most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.

It appears that this sentence has been ignored. The cynical amongst us may very well think that the bottled water industry has taken full advantage by using the first sentence out of context.

On a final note Dr Valtin emphasizes that his conclusion is limited to healthy adults living in a temperate climate and leading a largely sedentary life.
