Water drinking with meals backs claims in study
A historical piece discusses medical views on water intake with meals. It notes early theories that water with food dilutes gastric juice, but recent experiments found no diluting effect and that large water volumes do not harm digestion. A five day test with 1000 cubic cm per meal showed weight gain but no adverse effects, concluding large water portions with meals may have benefits. The passage ends with a newspaper ad urging reader engagement.
