Caution: Three to four glasses of water/juice per day is sufficient. Drinking to excess can upset your electrolyte balance causing your heart to malfunction ending in death. It will not help the vitality of your teeth. Rule of thumb:if your urine is clear you have enough fluid; if it is yellow you need a little more.
