[pct-l] Fwd: Water

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

no offense, but why no sources?  The first sentence just says "a 
university study" without even suggesting which university.

I find it EXTREMELY difficult to beleive that water could reduce the 
risk of several different kinds of cancer so dramatically and it not be 
HUGE news.  My wife is a doctor and she has not heard of any such 
studies.  I mean, come on...  thinjk about it, if you could reduce 
breast cancer by 79% just by drinking water, then doctors would ditch 
the mamograms and just tell everyone to drink more water.

in fact, here is actually an article at WebMD that debunks the 8-10 
glasses of water daily theory:

...not trying to start anything, just suggesting we all think 
critically.  if all those statements are true about water, i'd love to 
see the sources.

peace,
dude
