Yeah, it's not supposed to be radioactive-yellow all the time anon. Water is your friend

The government's been known to put chemicals in the water that clears anything it touches. Drink too much of it, and your blood will become clear too.

Yellow piss means you're dehydrated my man.

What are you painting?

Also this a cooking board

I drank a lot of mixed fruit juice once and my piss smelled like the juice
Do I have diabetes?

>>13358719
A guaranteed analysis as to whether diabetes has presented is to piss outside in the same spot for several days in the spring and if honeybees start congregating collecting the excess sugar from your piss, then diagnosis of diabetes is confirmed.

>>13358734
Helping the environment AND cheating doctors out of their pay? That has to be illegal.

>>13357460
And they put chemicals in the water that turn the frikin frogs gay. Just look at OP. Many such cases

What's your height and the most you've ever weighed? If you've never been overweight then you almost certainly aren't diabetic (barring type 1 diabetes which you would have most likely found out about a long time ago when you were a child).

My dad was a chubby kid, jacked teenager, fat dad, and then lost like 80 lbs just from Diabetic ketoacitosis. Type 1 diabetes is some serious shit. He never took his insulin for well ober a year and a half after the diagnosis. I don't know how he wasn't in a coma during that time, but whatever.

>>13359447
He got type 1 diabetes as an adult?

>>13359447
The kind of diabetes you get in adulthood from being overweight where you can stop taking insulin and not die is Type 2. Type 1 is juvenile diabetes where the patient's pancreas actually can't produce the insulin they need, as opposed to Type 2 where it's people who have the ability to produce insulin just fine but they break their bodies from being too fat and their cells are no longer responding as much to insulin (insulin resistance).
>fat dad, and then lost like 80 lbs just from Diabetic ketoacitosis.
Same happened with my dad where he started overeating and got fat in his late 20s and then the diabetes hit hard and he basically just urinated out all his excess weight in a disturbingly short period of time before getting hospitalized. Fortunately I've never been overweight myself and still no diabetes or even pre-diabetes into my mid-thirties now.

Why does the government do this?

This thread is extremely low quality.

>>13357436
That's a symptom of nutrient deficiency. The water is probably diluting your nutrients. Take some vitamin B pills.

So he was behind reporting all along...?

Your frog gay.

>>13357436
Pee is supposed to be clear. The more hydrated you are, the clearer your pee is. When you are dehydrated, your body concentrates the urine so as to not lose as much water in the waste process, resulting in yellower pee as your body excretes the concentrated nitrogenous wastes. When you have more water readily available in your body, you’ll be able to excrete more, and therefore nitrogenous wastes are excreted more frequently in smaller amounts, resulting in clearer urine. Being optimally hydrated also helps lubricate joints, organ tissues, and mucous membranes for optimal bodily functions.

>>13359472
Maybe he did. It happened to my brother a couple of years ago.

Clear and copious my nigga. Hydrated all day.

>>13360133
He didn't. That anon said his dad stopped taking insulin for over a year and a half after his diagnosis. You don't do that with Type 1 Diabetes (before insulin shots most kids with Type 1 Diabetes just died horrible deaths and the very few who survived a bit longer than average were 80 lb living skeletons who ate an extreme ketogenic diet that helped a little with their diabetes at the expense of not being able to maintain hardly any weight). It's also very rare to have aduot onset type 1. Only around 5,000 adults get it in the US each year. He clearly just confused Type 1 with Type 2.

>>13359695
>Pee is supposed to be clear.
Lab tech who handles piss on a daily basis here. Should be a light yellow colour. If your piss looks like water, you're either drinking too much water or not consuming enough salts/electrolytes. The water is running straight through you and not being retained, which is a problem in itself. Drinking water is a good thing, but remember it's only one part of your overall health and needs to be balanced.
Fuck, though. I've gotten samples that look like sweet tea, so things can always be worse.

>>13361327
>you're drinking too much water
Okay, and?
It's not like drinking too much water is bad for you

Enjoy kidney damage and leaking out protein into your urine.

>Drinking two liters of water per day may not benefit most individuals and even could be harmful, investigators say.
>At the Canadian Society of Nephrology annual meeting here, re-searchers from the University of Western Ontario, also in London, presented a study showing a significant correlation between excess urine production—which is usually caused by excess fluid intake—and proteinuria.
>The large population-based study uncovered a five-fold higher risk of proteinuria among people with polyuria than among those with normal urine volume, even after taking into account such factors as age, sex, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
Also 8 glasses a day is a mistake based on a quantity of water you're already getting most of just by eating.
https://www.bmj.com/content/335/7633/1288
>Medical myths
>The advice to drink at least eight glasses of water a day can be found throughout the popular press. One origin may be a 1945 recommendation that stated: A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 liters daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 milliliter for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. If the last, crucial sentence is ignored, the statement could be interpreted as instruction to drink eight glasses of water a day.

>>13361348
>Did you just ignore the rest of the post the second you saw those words?
No, in that post he just never said what is actually wrong with drinking too much water.

Can you actually understand the things you read or are you still in first grade?

>>13361360
>The water is running straight through you and not being retained, which is a problem in itself.
Bruh...

>>13361340
There was an anon here who himself brain damage by drinking over a gallon of water daily like a retard. Depletes your electrolytes.

>I was drinking @ 1.5 gallons/day over a period of several months. It really fucked me up. They basically had to force me to be admitted to the hospital because I was a raving lunatic and even when the ER medfag told me I was in serious danger of dying since my sodium level was so low I laughed hysterically and told him to fuck off out of my face, I'm leaving. He had security restrain me and gave me a shot to knock me out.

>>13361349
>>13361367
serious question, how much water do you drink per day?
Because if "MOST of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.", keyword "most", that means you should barely drink any water at all.

Enjoy your kidney stones.

>>13361340
Too much of anything is bad for you, hence "too much". But it doesn't seem normal for people to accidentally drink so much water that it causes severe issues. Your body will very much tell you when it doesn't want more water. It seems plenty of people drink too little or drink too much diuretics and don't replenish electrolytes. If you are a sane person, you should be able to handle your water intake without much thought.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my pee is still clear, even after sleeping for 8 hours.

>>13361349
I have polycystic kidneys with an eGFR consistently around 100%. I can confirm that on days where I drink more than 3L of water and have labs done, my ACR is usually fucked up. Electrolytes are usually okay, but I try to balance that with higher intake when drinking more water. On the other hand, I'm on a diuretic/beta-blocker combination to manage hypertension, and my nephrologist tells me to drink when I'm thirsty because the meds can dehydrate me quickly.
The vicious cycle of having lumpy pusbags for kidneys.

>>13361380
I'm 35 and have never once had a kidney stone. I don't force myself to drink water in set amounts each day like an idiot because that's what anticipatory thirst is for. Your body is way more sensitive to a lack of water than to a lack of food. You die in 3 days with no water. Don't know why people like you fall for the bottled water propaganda this hard and worry about accidentally getting "chronically dehydrated" when thirst kicks in before you're anywhere close to dehydration and you're not worried about accidentally getting too few calories (something that would be much easier to do with how much less your body will care about a lack of food which you can last months without).

>>13361410
But I do count my calories too?

>dude don't drink 2 liters of water a day, or else you can enjoy your kidney damage

LMAO can't wait to have a good laugh about this with my urologist

>>13361516
2 liters won't kill you. It's just stupid and causes unnecessary minor issues like depleting your electrolytes and leaking protein out your urine. It's also based on a popularized misreading of an estimate on hydration needs that explicitly tells you most of your daily hydration is included in food. Doesn't help either that Danone has been pushing massive misinformation propaganda campaigns to try to keep interest in bottled water products up.

>>13361516
>>13361701
Danone shilling example:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/22/had-our-fill-of-water
>Over the last few weeks, those who visited the British Medical Journal's website might have noticed an advert for a new public health initiative, Hydration for Health. It is sponsored by Danone – which owns the Evian, Volvic and Badoit bottled water brands – and urges healthcare professionals to encourage people to drink more water, claiming that "evidence is increasing that even mild dehydration plays a role in the development of various diseases".
>Margaret McCartney, a GP and columnist, saw these adverts and complained about it, writing an article for the BMJ (who admitted "we hadn't followed our own guidelines. The advertisement bypassed our editorial checks") about the lack of evidence – and citing the shortcomings of many studies – that people should be drinking more water.
Article on anticipatory thirst (part of why you should just drink when you're thirsty as opposed to trying to force yourself to drink X glasses of water daily):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6514825
>The results indicate that during free access to water humans become thirsty and drink before body fluid deficits develop, perhaps in response to subtle oropharyngeal cues, and so provide evidence for anticipatory thirst and drinking in man.

>>13361722
Not who you're replying to, but while I agree with you a hundred percent, try not to post resources found through Pubmed. They've had a sharp rise in dubious research in the past decade, especially from Chinese institutes rubber-stamping each others papers. Not a problem with the research you linked, though, which dates back to the 80s and was funded by Oxford (which is funded by the UK government).
Good work otherwise.

>>13357745
Pee is supposed to be pale yellow to gold.

Pregnant women are supposed to drink 3L of water a day

>>13361820
Probably not, no. Sounds like another of those cases where someone confused hydration needs with water drinking needs not realizing how much of your hydration already comes from food. Either that or it's just made up bullshit.

>>13361847
Yes but what if i only eat dried foods like salted potato chips all day. Check mate research cuck now i have to drink my water

>>13361860
If you live off nothing but heavily salted junk food then you're still going to have health problems regardless of how much water you drink.

>>13361860
>>13361876
Also you'll be thirstier the less you're getting hydration from the food you eat. So even in that retarded imaginary case you should once again just drink when you feel thirsty and not because you're trying to meet some bullshit minimum amount based on some horribly misunderstood 70 year old hydration write-up.

mine is a nice healthy orange

>>13358719
My dad discovered he had diabetes because his piss stains on the toilet were sticky. He never cleans the toilet so he noticed when the piss stains sticked to his ass.

>>13357436
take a b-complex vitamin, OP. Piss will be neon yellow. Cheers and good pissing to you, m8.

Guise...i drink like 6-7 liters a day and my urine is usually pretty clear except for my morning piss.
Am I gonna die?

I drink like two litres a day because I like drinking water. It's cool and refreshing, not because I consciously try to stay hydrated. Is that an okay amount?

>>13362053
That's perfectly okay. Don't listen to that autismo posting research articles.

>>13362013
I take a B-100 daily, but I also keep hydrated so I've never had that problem.

>>13362100
I mean, he's kind of all over the place, but he has it right on the "drink when you're thirsty" part. Depending on your metabolism, general health, diet, and activity, 2 litres may be the perfect amount. I think what he was trying to say is what you're agreeing with, and that an arbitrary volume of water may not be right for everyone.
For instance, I take a diuretic/beta-blocker combo to help with my blood pressure, so I tend to get dehydrated faster than most people.

>>13362100
>actual scientific investigation is autismo
You're probably obese.

>>13362128
I'm not obese, but now i'm convinced you have autism

>I'm not obese, but now i'm convinced you have autism

>>13362053
If you're actually thirsty and not just falling for a meme that's fine. Just don't force yourself to drink a set amount based on the 8 glasses a day nonsense because that's been established as a total misunderstanding. And don't force yourself to drink large amounts of water under the mistaken belief you need to in order to treat imaginary "chronic dehydration" problems Danone uses as a stealth marketing ploy.

>>13362023
>6-7 liters a day
That's a lot. Diabetes is the obvious disease associated with excessive thirst and drinking large amounts like that. If you don't have a medical problem causing excessive thirst then that would count as mental illness:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136024/
>Since the first case report of water intoxication in a schizophrenic patient,[1] a number of similar cases have been documented as psychogenic polydipsia (PPD), or compulsive fluid consumption. It is now well-recognized among psychiatric patients.
>While in true diabetes insipidus the polyuria is due to a defective secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), in PPD there is a disturbance in thirst control not caused by impairment of production or release of ADH. Polydipsia is intake of water more than 5 L per day.
Maybe see a doctor.

>>13362023
>Guise...i drink like 6-7 liters a day

Why though? Are you just constantly thirsty? How much do you weigh (I think that's a diabetes symptom)?

>>13361973
that is funny :)

you are supposed to drink when you are thirsty
this isn't difficult people

>>13362495
junkies and very old people may not feel thirst

>>13362427
6'2", 295, but I powerlift.

I just drink water. It's a habit, I guess. I just pace my day by having a liter every hour and a half or so.
I don't think I have diabetes, but my cum is pretty sweet. Is that a symptom?

>>13362779
if your pee is sweet you have the beetus
if you haven't had bloodwork done recently you might want to get it checked

Bros why does my pee smell bad after drinking iced coffee?

>>13362023
>>13362402
>>13362779
I mean, if we're gonna armchair diagnose him, I'm throwing diabetes inSIPidus. It's not traditional diabetes, but more of a hormone disorder that causes both extreme thirst and extreme urination similar to untreated diabetes. Definitely likely at over 4 litres per day and still thirsty. Differential diagnosis would require a blood and urine test.
Without treatment, you could just keep drinking and pissing until one day you can't keep it up and somehow get dehydrated despite your absurd water intake.
