# Fond of Bottled Water? It’s Just but a Fad!

If you’re fond of **drinking lots of water** and if you’re one of those who just cannot be caught dead without that **brand-name bottled water** on you, then you should read [this](https://www.thesun.co.uk/)! You see, **Dr. Keith Hopcroft**, the author of that article, is claiming that bottled water is just but a **fad** and you’re really just lured to the **commercialism** and superficiality of it all. In fact, he even cited a certain warehouseman **Andrew Thornton** who allegedly **died** after drinking massive amounts of _cold water_ to help his painful gums!

So maybe it should be no surprise that, despite the flood of advice about us needing to drink more, there’s hardly any scientific evidence to say we should hit the water bottle.

It doesn’t “flush out toxins”. It doesn’t _make you look more beautiful_. And it doesn’t get you fitter although all that running to the loo is good exercise.

Dr. Hopcroft’s article also enumerated that people **lose 1.5 liters of water** through **urinating** and **1 liter through sweating**. However, 1 liter of water also comes from our food and that we actually **gain** 1.5 liters back from our **drinks**. And that the only time that you may require more than just **2.5 liters of water per day** is when you [rigorously exercise](https://allwomenstalk.com/3-step-approach-to-best-weight-loss-workouts/). Who knew?

Personally, I really thought that we need [to drink loads of water](https://my.allwomenstalk.com/profiles/blog/show?id=542765%3ABlogPost%3A27428) everyday because it **flushes out toxins** and **clears our skin**. After all, that’s what the bottled water companies tell us! Now, with these claims from a doctor, however, you can’t help but think if we’ve just allowed ourselves to be lured into something that’s not true after all…plus I can’t help but think if the bottled water companies are set to launch campaigns refuting Dr. Hopcroft!
