[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ice is a commodity in many places ie ice water. The rest of the world isn't as into ice water like the US :) The tradition of receiving a glass of water with meals is just a very US based thing. Going to China Japan Europe S America - you will sometimes see it but many times esp in local joints - you won't. It's just not a given. [/quote] I agree with this advice, although I have always wondered why this is never brought up in all the discussions about obesity in America vs other countries- we drink much more water and other places juices and sodas are more common, yet as a nation we are very overweight. [/quote] I don't think a ton of water has anything to do with health (esp ice water like is the norm here). Somehow in the US everyone thinks hydrating appropriately means carrying around enormous stanley cups sipping 2L throughout the day, but there is a thing such as too much water/liquid.[/quote]
