“…Maintaining optimal hydration is a public health issue, especially in infants and young children, whose total water intake (TWI) per unit of body weight is about three times higher than that of adults (6) . In addition, some studies have pointed out several deleterious health outcomes related to low water intake, even in cases of mild dehydration (< 2 %) (12)(13)(14) . Despite this, water is often forgotten in daily dietary recommendations and some guidelines and nutrition surveys.…”

Hydration is a particular concern for infants and young children due to their greater risk of dehydration. However, studies on their water intakes are scarce. The current survey aimed to analyze total water intake (TWI) in non-breastfed children aged 0.5-35 months compared to the adequate intake (AI) for the same age group set by the EFSA and to examine the different contributors to TWI as well as beverage consumption patterns. Nationally representative data from the Nutri-Bébé cross-sectional survey were used to assess food, beverage, and plain water consumption by age group over three non-consecutive days. With age, median TWI in 1,035 children increased from 732 to 1010 mL/d, without differences between sex, but with a great inter-individual variation, and the percentage of children who did not meet the AI increased from 10% to 88%. Median weight-related TWI decreased from 136.6 to 69.0 mL/kg/d. Among infants, 90% had a ratio of water/energy below the AI, similarly for about 75% of toddlers. Milk and milk products were the main contributors to TWI, while the part of plain water increased gradually to be 25% in the older toddlers, half of which was tap water. The beverage consumption pattern varied in types and timing, with little consumption of juices and sweetened beverages. Vegetables and fruits accounted for 20% of TWI after the age of 6 months. These initial results, showing strong discrepancies between actual and recommended water intakes in young children, should help identify ways to increase children’s water consumption.

“…Health is critically dependent on the quality of drinking water (Chowdhury et al, 2019;Clasen et al, 2014;Daughton, 2018;Koopaei and Abdollah, 2017), but many health care professionals tend to somewhat reduce its significance to maintaining physiological functions, e.g., blood pressure, pH, and body temperature (Armstrong and Johnson, 2018;Perrier, 2019). Yet, throughout recorded human history the preventive and curative power of water was well known and part of various therapeutic approaches (Moss, 2010).…”

Recently, it was shown that regular consumption of a standardized amount of filtered tap water improved the self-reported physical complaints. However, since individuals were fully aware of the type of water they consumed it was unclear to what extent this effect was ascribable to placebo effects. This paper tests the effectiveness of an in-home water filter system (AcalaQuell®) which was compared with a sham water filter containing no significant filter ingredients. Both filters were concealed, and participants knew that the probability to receive the clinically proven filter was 50 percent. There were large differences between the two groups (d = 0.7 < d < 2). For individual-specific complaints, the reduction was 38 percent for the filtered water group while the reduction in the placebo group was about 8 percent. Subjective health complaints are considerably reduced after daily intake of AcalaQuell®-filtered tap water during a three-week administration period. This effect is specific and independent from placebo effects.

“…During the first decade of the H4H Scientific Conference, the relationship between hydration and metabolic health generated a lot of interest [1], and this was highlighted in the first session by Dr. Tiphaine Vanhaecke’s (Danone Research, Palaiseau, France) (in this issue) narrative of our current understanding regarding water intake, hormonal regulation of body water, and mechanistic management of blood glucose. The presentation began with the original presupposition that elevated arginine vasopressin (AVP) detected within individuals with type II diabetes mellitus was a compensatory result of excess water loss due to glucosuria [2].…”
