Someone wrote that it is healthy to drink your own urine. Is that true and does anyone really do it?

No, it's not healthy at all. There is a reason why the body was expelling that, so don't do it. There are some myths about that is very healthy, but actually it's not. Even if you were very thirsty and dehydrated, don't drink urine.

Ummm. Not on a normal basis.
Healthy? Well, if you were in dire danger of dehydrating. Since it's mostly water, with some ammonia and salts from your body, it would keep you alive, but it's not something I'd ever do unless I was thisclose to shriveling up and dying.

no I do not. I believe whomever said it is healthy is a nutcase. Drinking your own urine could actually cause health problems.

Only if you are having a testosterone shift . Women take pills from horse urine so you can drink yours if you really need it LOL

Nope. It's not healthy either since it's more or less full of stuff your body is trying to get rid of.
Some people are into it however as a sexual fetish usually.

I believe it was Brad Pitt as Tyler in the film Fight Club who said that. I would only consider it if I was in a desert.

Uh, no. It won't hurt you, but it isn't good for you either. I guess maybe some people have a fetish.
