    This “hydration” crap.

    Up until the late 1970’s for approx 300,000 years of humans being around hydrated themselves just fine.

    Long as there was water available one would drink when their body signaled them by getting thirsty (don’t care about exceptions to the rule where someone has a medical issue or if water was limited in high school, your a big person now). All of a sudden humans forgot to drink fluids?

    Bullshit.

    It’s just yet another scam the drink makers have perpetrated to get people to buy the various liquid products they sell.

        Yup. I drink water and odd fruit juice. The drink makers wish/hope otherwise and willing to advertise to do so.

        One would think that all the medical breakthroughs would be what lengthens life. But that’s just me. Water is all dependent on whether it’s there or not. If it is, we will drink.

      Same, but skin hydration / moisturizing. That’s 300,000 years of human history without Aveeno. The skincare industry is a scam to sell product, and our skin works fine if you mostly leave it alone.
