I have heard that it is healthy to drink some of your own urine every day. Apparently its an idea from India practised by Ghandi,Nehru among others.Is this a myth? Whats would happen if you did.
:yuck:Many advocates claim that urine is a panacea. There is practically nothing it won't cure... It is said to deter againg and is helpful with AIDS, allergies,
:rofl:With such wondrous properties, it is amazing that science bothered developing medicine when it had the key to good health already in the bottle, so to speak. Each of us is a walking pharmacopoeia.
For most people most of the time, one's own urine is not likely to be harmful. However, it is not likely to be healthful or useful except for those rare occasions when one is buried beneath a building or lost at sea for a week or two. In such situations drinking one's own urine might be the difference between life and death. As a daily tonic, there are much tastier ways to introduce healthful products into one's blood stream.
Let's be hopeful everyone get into the last paragraph. Some people get too excited when it comes to healthy drink and panacea that they immediately want to give it a try!:yuck:iansmith said:I think the last paragraph sums that urine is not the best way to get a healthy drink
