I read in the June issue of Running Times an awesome column on 'hydration moderation'. It was geared toward high school students who've been raised in a world where a water bottle (and a cell phone) are extra appendages, and even non-athletes are constantly chugging water and Gatorade.
But there was a gratifying take-away for this coffee-slurping office worker:
"the average-size adult needs eight glasses of fluid a day, not eight glasses of water... Any fluids such as juices, milk, COFFEE, tea [etc] can help meet the Recommended Daily Allowance."
And....
"Don't worry too much about the 'dehydrating' effects of coffee or caffeinated soft drinks. Those fears are over-exaggerated."
Nice!
