The article notes that what it refers to is people who fit my description. The review of studies done by Valtin discredits not only the eight glasses of water a day advice, but also the if you are thirsty it's too late and the dark urine means you are dehydrated and the caffeinated beverages don't count advice.
If there is a study or article in the J.A.M.A. that corrects this article, please point me to it. I searched for "minimum water" and "minimum fluid intake" between January 2002 and now at the J.A.M.A. site and came up with nothing relevant.
I also went back to the original journal (which I got wrong, it's not the American Journal of Physiology, it's American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology) to see if they have any more recent articles covering the subject. They don't.
I also when to Valtin's home page at Dartmouth to see if he has further research or reviews on the subject. However, it appears he is a professor emeritus and no longer conducting research there.
