Bottled water companies often repeal it to increase their sales but it is actually a silly idea. There is no evidence to prove the advantages of drinking eight glasses of water a day, scientists say.The misunderstanding is caused from the suggestion that adults should drink 2.5 liters of water daily, which was stressed by the British Medical Journal in December.

The researchers also found no evidence that drinking lots of water does some good to the bodys organs（器官）.1、From the passage, we know that the suggestion about drinking eight glasses of water a day .Acauses some serious diseasesBha
