someone once told me that there was a Japanese study stating that you should not drink beverages ( water, tea, soda etc..) while your eating. I cannot recall the reason why and I cannot find any research reguarding this. My Chiropractor told me that you should drink a glass of water before you eat at least a 1/2 hour before. He said it coats your intestines so you can digest better and causes you to get full faster, is that true?

WELL HONEY, the japanese is right about that. Not only the japanese, but the middle east people believe in the same thing.
The beverage you drink while eating will dilute the stomach acid ( which helps in digest the foods you eat). Therefore, you should drink 1/2 before or after your meal for a good digestion.

It helps to give you the sensation of being 'full'. Personally, I don't drink sodas with my food as I find that it overpowers the taste of the food. I love the many flavors in my mouth from what I am eating. Therefore I drink only water. However, for the evening meal, I will drink a glass of wine with it. For the health benefits of course. :-)

Chiropractors are not trained in the physiology of the GI tract. Yours is an idiot and his advice is nonsense. There is no reason not to drink while eating. Likewise, there is no requirement that you should (or MUST) drink while eating. Drink when you're thirsty. Period.

I have always heard the same about water. It also helps liquify the acids that eat. I am a high water drinker and I have found I don't want to eat as much.
