Review Knocks 8-Glasses of Water a Day Mantra for Six

April 3, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
A literature review has concluded that there is no evidence that drinking eight glasses of water a day benefits the average person. Report authors Dr. Dan Negoianu and Dr. Stanley Goldfarb from the Renal, Electrolyte, and Hypertension Division at the University of Pennsylvania say they found some evidence supporting some benefits of increased fluid intake with people carrying certain diseases. But no single study concluded that there was a need to consume the recommended eight glasses of eights ounces – “8x8” - of water a day. However, they said that individuals in hot, dry climates and athletes did need to drink more water.
