from the LJS Your health: Stay hydrated and healthy
salty wrote on June 27, 2007 2:02 am:
” Sometimes color and odor is simply not enough. I have found that by tasting less of than a teaspoon of a loved ones urine, you can tell if they have kept themselves properly hydrated or not. If it tastes as salty as the chicken noodle soup at Village Inn, I generally advise them to drink more water. If it’s any less salty, I generally will let them know that they are drinking enough liquids to stay hydrated. DO NOT drink your own urine, it is very dangerous. It is a poison expelled by your own body. Why would you think of drinking your own urine? “
man I love that the LJS lets you comment on stories.
who needs to be on a diet, just read comments like this one. barf

Dear gawd! That’s hilarious!
In my best Cliff Clavin impersonation: Doctors used to routinely taste a patient’s urine to analyze such conditions as dehydration.
So, how does the good professor ask a loved one for a teaspoon of their urine?
* “Can I ask you something?”
* “You’re going to think this sounds funny …”
* “Question: …”
* “Here’s an idea!”
