TRUTH: We aren't drinking the right beverages Studies tell us that most Americans drink about 2 liters of total beverages per day, but less than a quarter comes from water. Technically, non-water drinks like soda and lemonade do "count" toward your fluid needs, but of course, those drinks can also provide empty calories (calories that aren't bundled with valuable nutrients), sugar or maybe artificial stuff. So even if we're not all chronically dehydrated our beverage report card isn't earning high marks. In fact drinks are the No. 1 source of sugar in the American diet - eliminating just 1 (20 oz) bottle of soda per day would slash your sugar intake by 6,000 teaspoons a year. Bottom line: we'd probably all be much healthier if we reached for more water.
Carbs, fat, protein and sugar always seem to be triggering some sort of debate, but good old water? It doesn't seem like it should be controversial at all, but it's been the source of some scuttlebutt recently after a health expert claimed that the need for eight glasses per day is "nonsense."
