Is urine thearpy good for the health?!
Question:
Answers:
There are long standing claims, from various folks, that this is beneficial.
There is no clear scientific evidence that it actually works. I think it is unlikely there are benefits for the following reasons. In the healthy person urine consists of water and waste products. These latter are enough of a problem that discarding them is important. Ingesting them increase the excretory load on the kidneys of whoever is doing the ingestion. High levels of some waste products are damaging in and of themselves. Urea, for instance.
In people in good health, with normally working kidneys, ingesting uring from healthy normal peopel is not likely to cause difficulty. Those in poor health or with marginal kidney function, are likley to have trouble with increased waste product levels in the blood and with the increased load on the kidneys. Anyone ingesting urine from those in abnormal health (infections, some metabolic disorders, .) may very well be in trouble from the ingestion.
But, I must second several of the answers given here. Seems more than a little gross to me.
