Most people have probably heard that you should drink 8 glasses of water per day, but is that really true? Many health experts say no. They say that most Americans are well hydrated, mostly because there’s a good amount of water in food, and that water in coffee and soft drinks can actually help our bodies. (See the articles from Dartmouth Medical School, CBC News, and an LA Times writer.)

Personally, I feel better if I try to drink more water (and less pop). What do you think?
