'You are what you drink!' Focus on 'Rehydration with soft drink-like beverages exacerbates dehydration and worsens dehydration-associated renal injury'

摘要

in the world today it is apparent that over or under consumption of food and beverages (including water) can adversely affect health.

It is clear that how much, when, and the nutrient content of what we eat has consequences for cardiovascular health and longevity (5) and this has lead to the catch phrase "You are what you eat."
