he was Society Chirurgeon) and it changed the “official” views.
Note we don’t really have any control over anyone’s choices for
hydration sources, but if someone asks for an opinion ours is probably a bit
more informed than the average man on the street’s.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is an interesting article on getting enough water. It mentions, in<br>

<p> Caffeine considerations<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> You may have heard about the dehydrating effects of caffeine.
But<br>
leading health authorities including the Institute of Medicine and<br>
the American College of Sports Medicine say that's a myth. While<br>
caffeine does signal our kidneys to rid our bodies of excess<br>
water, it does so for only a short time, so we still retain more<br>
fluid than we lose after sipping a caffeinated beverage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> The Institute of Medicine reports caffeinated beverages
contribute<br>
to our daily water needs as much as noncaffeinated drinks. In a<br>
study published in 2007 in the International Journal of Sport<br>
Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, when researchers asked cyclists<br>
to bike for two-plus hours under hot, humid conditions, they found<br>
a caffeine-infused sports drink was as hydrating as a traditional<br>
sports drink.<o:p></o:p></p>
