"A large percentage of the population don't have the correct hormone response that tells them to drink." Please define large percentage and offer a reference to this fact. The point made in the article was based around "otherwise healthy idividuals"... not people who have a health issue that would not let them know they are thirsty.
- onion2k 11y agoThat was hyperbole on my part really. There are about 10% of people with some form of diabetes, and one or two percent for the other conditions. That's a 'large percentage' if you compare it with other unifying factors across the population (you can't say '12% percent of people have X condition' for many medical problems), but I guess it's not strictly a large percentage on it's own.
