Just saw this:
Health advice to drink eight glasses of water a day is over the top and does not help with weight loss, says a leading nutritionist.
Fruit, vegetables and juices should have a major role in providing the fluids we need, he added.
Spero Tsindos, an academic and public health expert, also argued that the push to encourage people to drink more water was driven by vested interests.
Tsindos said sales of bottled water had risen in tandem with guidance from bodies such as the National Health Service telling individuals to drink large volumes.
Independent dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton said individuals tend not to drink enough.
A spokesman for British Bottled Water Producers said the World Health Organisation and the British Dietetic Association recommends the average 60kg (9st 6lb) adult should drink 1.5 to two litres (3.5 pints) of fluid a day.
