It's pee.
"Okay, I finally tried. Here is my review of the experience:
Pale gold appearance. Outstanding aromas fill the glass with smoky peat, Sherry wood and sea salt; extraordinarily perfumed moderately full-bodied with a viscous mouthfeel. Surprisingly dry finish with sweet spice.
I give it a 92 out of 100."
That was fucking hilarious.
"TML-
Actually, its almost identical to the 16 year Lagavulin, which I highly recommend. I am experimenting with my diet, to see if I can duplicate the 15 year Bowmore Darkest Sherry Finish."
LOL That is hilarious. I was going to say Lagavulin but did not know if enough people would get the reference.
"whitewhale..........i think it's because MDs get very little education on nutrition in medical school."
That's definitely not true.
ODDRob is correct; the course in biochemistry alone(it doesn´t stop there) is enough to stop most intelligent people from drinking their own piss.
"so if you have athletes foot, just get the cream, don't go pissing on your feet all the time."
But pissing on your feet all the time is free...
Although it may not sound like a healthy habit, urine drinking is finding new popularity as a health fad among New Agers. Urine is a solution of the chemical wastes of the body but drinkers claim that it can also contains useful chemicals that the body missed out on the first time around. Hence the implied benefit of recycling piddle.
I talk with Dr Robert Farnsworth, one of Australia's leading urologists, about what exactly urine is and the possible benefits and side effects from drinking it.
(MAN WORKING AT BAR) "Another pint for you, Sir."
(PAUL) I have been accused of 'taking the piss', but listen up folks - this is serious. Urine drinking is finding favour as a quack remedy for many ailments. Although information on the virtues of urine drinking are readily available on the web - mainly from sites in California - I have been having great difficulty in finding any Australians who would readily admit to the practice. So I asked Dr Robert Farnsworth, urologist at the Prince of Wales and Prince Henry Hospitals, what he knew of the practice.
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "It's a practice that some of the older cultures - particularly third world cultures and Asian cultures - have promoted from time to time as having a health benefit. I'm also aware that there's an increased incidence of this practice in some areas of America at the moment."
(PAUL)What exactly is urine?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "Urine is one of the body's methods of getting rid of waste products, and obviously it's a fluid, so you're getting rid of some of your waste fluid products, but also some of the chemicals in the body, particularly the acids in the diet - they're excreted through the kidneys."
(PAUL) Is it safe to drink?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH)"Certainly in small volumes, provided it's not infected with germs, there's probably no hazard in drinking it. But if you started drinking significant volumes of your own urine, or particularly if you drank almost all of your own urine, essentially what you're doing is recycling your own waste products - you're not excreting them permanently, so it's just the same as if your kidneys are not working - you're going to accumulate them, and that would be very hazardous."
(PAUL) There is a long list of ailments that urine is claimed to fix. I asked Dr Bob. Pain relief?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "I can see no scientific basis for pain relief being achieved - any source of pain being treated, or cured, or assisted by recycling your own urine."
(PAUL) What about skin complaints, such as shingles?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "Again, the same comment would apply."
(PAUL) Is there any benefit for hypoglycemic people to drink their own urine?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH)"Not at all. Again, it doesn't make scientific logic."
(PAUL) And I suppose you'd say the same of cures for cancer, leprosy and AIDS?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "Et cetera, et cetera . . . .yes."
(MAN'S VOICE) "Ah . . .there's nothing like sinking a bit of piss with the mates . . ."
(PAUL) What are the possible side effects that someone can have from drinking their own urine?
( DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "It's possible your urine could be infected, so you're ingesting bacteria and maybe viruses, and that could be hazardous - it's biologically illogical and also hazardous"
(PAUL) Not only are people claiming that drinking urine is good for you, but using it as a balm, using it for enemas, gargling, douching, eye and ear drops, and even for sniffing to relieve symptoms of asthma. Does any of this strike you as sensible medical procedure?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "They all seem fairly fascinating habits, but again I can't see any scientific benefit from any of them."
(PAUL) There was at least one case where the claim did appear to be based on a scientific fact. Drinking urine can help with jet lag, because of melatonin.
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "I'm not too sure of the scientific logic behind recycling your own melatonin, but my preference would be to take a pill, actually, rather than to recycle my own urine."
(PAUL) One thing they say is, 'Well, the AMA is against this because it's free.' Is that a logical argument?
(DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "Not at all, and I don't think the AMA would take that position - it would be more relevant to the Pharmacy Guild."
(PAUL) What would you recommend people do with their urine?
( DR ROBERT FARNSWORTH) "Hopefully, excrete it naturally and then the usual methods of getting rid of the waste product. We have a sanitary system, sewerage systems, etc., and I think they're designed to get rid of it and that's the appropriate place for it."
ODDROB- actually it is true....here is one quick source...you can find a hundred more if you look quick.

Luke knows what he's talking about.
hahahaha
""I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate the average MD knows more about nutrition than the average fighter."
Pee argument aside, that's a ridiculous statement. "
actually, this is ridiculous. what are you even talking about?
cummo is a shill for Big Urine!
Luke - you might have missed where I asked how you feel it helps you on fight day. I've read where you said you drink it until you feel empty. How does feeling empty help you on fight day?
Just guessing: perhaps he means that his body is rid of toxins, etc. and "fully functioning"?
If you're having trouble getting all of your nutrition for your diet, try adding in some more meat. Salmon is a good choice and has numerous health benefits.
TEX: I want to keep some of my secrets as future opponents might be reading, so I will say this: I don't feel empty come fight time - I AM completely empty.
Warrior: I have eaten a diet with meat (including salmon) in the past and on the Lifefood diet (along with nutritional fasting) I feel 600% better in all areas.
Having a shit sandwitch once a month boosts your immune system.
^ So does licking a urinal.
I followed the Lifefood diet and avoided eating until the afternoon. I felt a million times better and was amazed how quickly my body responded.It is amazing how much energy you have when your digested track is rested. Once you taste steak again it makes it hard to go back.
Never tried the urine but I remember from college they used to cure alot of ails w/ it in the olden days. People used to put a baby diaper on there face to cure acne I did try the cultured juice they sell at Whole Foods. Urine could not have tasted any worse.
