2 liters a day is the norm. caffeinated teas and coffee dehydrate, so you need to compensate every coffee with an extra glass of water  |
Actually recent studies show that this isn't true it's been what we have been told for ages now, but it seems that coffee, regular tea, green tea, ect. do count towards our water intake and don't dehydrate us after all. I would have to dig to find the studies but they have been posted right on the forum during a similar discussion here. |
Agree - recent research definitely affirms that coffee and tea count towards water intake. As I stated in my post above they are not considered a diuretic - this was the myth that the nutritionist on TV was busting. If you do a Google search on this topic, you'll find lots of info confirming same. |

Yes, my mother's doctor confirmed this when my sibling was trying to flood my mother with water. It is a myth that just doesn't seem to go away. |
