Maybe that’s unique to me.

I have a LONG history of kidney stones, dehydration/stress vomiting, and UTIs before I went on this diet/before I switched away from soda.

I haven’t had any of that since I switched from soda to water, and the worst problem excessive water consumption presents to me is more frequent urinating.

Ultimately, I’m relaying what works for my body. This is why I say, caveat emtor (buyer beware), if you find something that works for you, feel free to disregard what other people (including me) say.
