NPR wrong

2014-03-24 21:47:21.444715+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So I'm not sure how NPR's Five Myths About Drinking Water got published, who decided to put out the press release that it was pulled from, but...

"Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories," says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh. "So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get the sense of satisfaction."

But water is not magical, she adds. Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too.
