        Part of the hijacking of our bodies by processed food and sugar is that many of us literally cannot discern the subtle feeling of dehydration from the more intense feelings of “wanting to eat something high glycemic” plus all that sugar requires more water. So, I can see how today we’re struggling with hydration more than in the past, when bodies were more fit and adjusted to whole foods and healthier routines.

        When you consume a high fibre diet, you require more water than usual. Depending on the body type, it can be difficult to ascertain just how much water someone needs to consume.

        If you drink a normal amount of water on a constantly high fibre diet, you can tear your anus doing a big poo. There is no nicer way to say it.

        What does that accomplish? Selecting for people with higher thirst? Imo, is it really that valuable to push instincts over logic and memory?
