love how you can sneak a smoking child into an ad as long as it is an anti-tobacco ad

>as long as it is an anti-tobacco ad This won't classify as advertising, most like information for safety, we have similar stuff in our country like - you should drink 2L of water - passive smoking is bad for children - use table salt with Iodium to prevent ... - don't use improvised heating devices - excessive alcohol drinking is very bad for health

  Lost me at "you should drink 2L of water." No. You should drink when thirsty. Too much water is in fact bad for you. In addition, that advice is to get people to buy bottled drinks, because what is called tap water in much of the West, mostly the Americas, is brine. You can't drink it without beginning to crave unsalted water, water without sodium flourine, a salt. Because regulations in USA forbid any district from distributing water, that forces everyone (except those with access to well water) to buy bottled liquids, which conveniently are allowed to use purified water. This despite the fact that many of these bottled liquids contain the sugar that is the obvious culprit of tooth decay, in the name of which tap water was salted. Really the law should be any liquid with sugar in it should itself contain the sodium fluoride that would protect teeth from that sugar. People who don't drink "sugar water" deserve the right to running water.

    The actual clip says "liquids" not sure what the small print says. Have no idea if anyone cheks what is in the bottled water though >You should drink when thirsty. is that an expert advice? >Too much water is in fact bad for you. If you link me something that proves that 2L daily is bad then please do, I drink that much and I don't want to get poisoned with water.

      > I drink that much and I don't want to get poisoned with water. It depends on what you consider poisoning means. Water boarding, for instance, is water poisoning, like literally veterans water boarded by Japanese interrogators in WWII spent about a week in the hospital so their kidneys could recover from the effects of the water intake. More than 2L, true. I don't know what water you're drinking, but you should, maybe you can find your water treatment's facility's chemical analysis of the water they provide? And test the water you're drinking from the faucet, the pipes might be lead, and the water company wouldn't report that. Or if you don't want to bother with that, use your sense of taste, which is designed specifically for chemical analysis. Ask yourself as you drink water, "is this good water?".

    Yes, you should drink when you’re thirsty, and forcing yourself to drink some arbitrary quantity of water every day is probably pointless. But water without any dissolved minerals is also bad for you, and many bottled brands add other salts (eg calcium chloride) to filtered water for flavor. I’ve also never experienced the phenomenon you describe where water with sodium fluoride fails to satisfy my thirst. While I certainly prefer the flavor of filtered water, drinking tap water doesn’t make me crave any other drink. Has there been any research done on this topic?

      Research it with your mouth on your next hike, drink from a stream in the mountains--go high altitude, if you don't get altitude sickness when you arrive at base camp, it won't be enough--and drink water that anyone can see is pure. Assay it with your mouth, it will be conspicuously delicious. When you return, taste the tap, it will not be anything like it. Then if you brush your teeth, you will realize that that is what it tastes like: city water tastes like toothpaste, because that's the intention, to make water good for your teeth, with the same chemical that makes toothpaste good for your teeth. It's toothpaste's signature flavor. The flavor you were told not to object to in childhood when you brushed, guess what, your senses know what it is, sodium flouride wasn't discovered in a lab, many places have it in their groundwater. It's gross because it's supposed to be gross, you aren't supposed to drink that water if you have a better choice.
