Just wanted to let you know that this episode isn't wanting to download for me in iTunes. It will start downloading for a couple of seconds, then just stop.

Hi Kira. I just began listening to your podcast about a month ago and I absolutely love it. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteOne comment on this particular episode, though. In regards to your assertion that coffee, tea, and soda are dehydrating and cannot be considered a substitute for water in terms of hydration, I thought you might find research done by Ann Grandjean of the University of Nebraska and Lawrence E. Armstrong of the University of Connecticut interesting, as well as this BBC News article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5281046.stm?ls/. (What makes me sad, though, is that Googling Dr. Grandjean's research can lead you to the Web site of The Bverage Institute for Health and Wellness, brought to you by none other than Coca Cola - ugh!).
To make a long story short, research seems to point to the fact that drinking caffeinated beverages still results in a net gain in fluid, even taking the mild diuretic effect into account.
That being said, I think soda consumption is the cause of so many health problems in this day and age, and the super sweetened popular coffee and tea drinks being sold are just soda in disguise. For me, choosing to drink water over these beverages is more about overall health and nutrition than effective hydration.
Thanks!
Thanks for that info, Kirstie!
ReplyDeleteYou are very right that there are many hidden downsides of popular beverages. It's all about quality, even when it comes to what we drink!
