    Now we're really confused: Scientists say we don't need to drink so much water

    Oh those wacky scientists! This week, they've decided that maybe you don't need to drink as much water as they originally thought. In fact, two kidney experts insist that if you're drinking water when you're not thirsty, you might even be doing some bodily harm. Great, after my climate guilt finally kicked in enough to convince me to ditch the Voss habit and invest in a Brita and a six-pack of Siggs? Like everything else, the First World was probably consuming more than its fair share of clean drinking water anyway. But if you're not ready to give up the lovely feeling of instant hydration, another study has confirmed that drinking tea is better than drinking plain water anyway.

    But wither the pig placenta beverage, scientists? It has zero calories and supposedly makes you oh so beautiful! Meh, I'm sticking with a cup of mocha and something tasty, like the moffle. Certainly one of those two things are going to be good for you if we wait long enough.
