 | | Are We Dringking Enough Water? Is it always Good For US? | | by Shergill, Sep 3, 2006 | | This article is in response to Kristie Leigh Karn’s article, “Are we drinking enough water? I am in agreement with Kristie about her statement that when you feel thirsty, you drink. It is nice, simple and straight forward.
