Help: No apetite for water
I have always had problems with having apetite for water. There seem to be that lack of apetite for it. Sometimes I can spend two weeks without drinking water. When I do, it's usually half a glass. Nowadays I mix water with concentrated fruit juice. I enjoy this and can drink about three litres per day. Is this the same as water? Is it OK if I don't drink pure water?

Dear Conn
Humans need to ingest 2-3 liters of LIQUID a day - so you can drink tea (esp rooibos), coffee, milk, fruit juice, cold drinks, soda water, flavoured water, spring water, etc to provide you with your liquid intake.
