Re: Urine is poisonous waste?
atalanta - "But clear pee means you are healty and hydrated. The more yellow the more sickly you are."
again, you are not only wrong but showing gross ignorance. clear pee shows that the water you are drinking is going right through you and not entering and exiting cells and refreshing the water and carrying away excesses and byproducts of cell function. urine should be yellow in color or the kidneys are eliminating water unnecessarily, therefor dysfunctionally eliminating water before it has been used. it is not a sign of hydration, it is a sign of current or eminant dehydration or drought in the body.
as for the second part of your statement, there is a balance and an ebb and flow. it should always have some color to it but it should not be too dark or smell strangely, like maple syrup for instance. it should also vary somewhat, the first urine after waking will be darker, naturally. if you drink dehydrating beverages like coffee or beer, your kidneys will produce water faster and it will be clearer. this water has done your body no good and has then been robbed from it, not having been used for its natural purpose. water intake must be increased when ingesting these beverages to replace the water lost. it is not a sign of health. it is a sign of abuse.
