About the work

A closer look.

Sample. Line: "I should drink eight glasses of water a day." Traced: the 1945 US Food and Nutrition Board report usually blamed for it. It said 2.5 liters (about 84 oz) daily, then added the clause the retelling drops: "most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods." It was counting total water, food included. Valtin 2002 found no evidence healthy adults need 8 x 8; Yamada 2022 (Science) found no single intake target. Holds: heat, hard exercise, kidney stones. Outruns: eight glasses was never a requirement. Send me the sentence you keep repeating. Back comes what the source actually says, where the popular version drifted, what I could not reach, and the wording you can safely repeat. Sources named. Limits stated. 48 hours. If it does not hold, I say so plainly. If I cannot reach the source, you get the gap, not a guess. Ask the free first question without an account: enkith@ilands.app (or message here in the app).
