A great piece on water fadism by Dominic Lawson, brother of “domestic goddess” Nigella. The whole article is well worth reading, but this is my favourite bit:
“She is a self-confessed ‘aquaholic’, drinking up to three litres of water before retiring for the night. Ever since she admitted the fact, ‘alternative’ health writers have claimed that her bladder-testing nightcap is the secret of her lustrous complexion – a typically far-fetched claim by the advocates of ‘8x8’. Nigella is much too sensible to believe this nonsense, attributing her skin-tone instead to a mixture of genetic good fortune and a high dietary fat intake.”
The Independent / Dominic Lawson: Bottled or tap, we drink far too much water
