Ever heard of Urophagia? Me neither, apparently it’s the ancient art of consuming your own urine. When I discovered this some what alarming fact, I was troubling my brain to think of any sort of tangible benefit this might actually bring. The only thing I could come up with was water conservation, a pretty lame benefit.

My claim that there is in fact no benefit of drinking ones own Urine can be validated by the fact that, that insufferable toff Bear Grylls allegedly drank his own Urine whilst in the Australian outback. For those of you not famililiar with Bear, he is a jumped up Etonian who likes nothing more than to pretend to be a survival expert whilst flanked by Camera crew.  The programme he presents even has a disclaimer at the start stating that some events are created to make the show more seem more dramatic.

But enough about him, back to piss drinking, according to Wikipedia the Romans also used to drink urine to whiten their teeth.  I think this unequivocally confirms that drinking your own urine is an utterly stupid and inadvisable thing to do!
