DailyDirt: Don't Drink The Water?!
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Drinking eight glasses of water every day might be overkill, but it's good to stay hydrated. Even though it's almost the end of summer (for folks in the northern hemisphere at least), here are a few quick links on quenching your thirst.- Milk could be better than water or sports drinks for re-hydrating active kids. Got Milk? [url]
- Forget Camelbaks if you live in Seattle. Just wear a raincatch -- a raincoat that collects and purifies water for its wearer. It ain't pretty (and it's probably really heavy), but it'll keep you hydrated if you're really paranoid about potable water... [url]
- Swimming in fresh warm water sounds like fun -- until you get an amoeba in your nose. You're more likely to be struck by lightning than inhale an amoeba, though. [url]

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

When I click on the amoeba link from the frontpage, it links to techdirt.com. In this 'read more' page, it links correctly.
What's up with that?

Did they get permission from Frank Herbert's estate before trying to create clothing that purifies and provides drinking water?

You normally know when you need a drink.
Play it safe and pay attention to your body. You normally know when you need a drink. Because you're thirsty!

Re: Not the average kind of milk.
There are certainly some negatives to drinking milk, but crap corn syrup based soda has more, and basically no upside.
This research is interesting to me, as I always drank milk for reasons of thirst when I was a kid and teenager, and everyone thought I was weird. I didn't start drinking water in any significant amounts until I was in my late 20s.
On the other hand, I'd be very interested in who funded the research, and if there are any dairy industry connections.
