Question

Can you safely drink pee?
I just made a bet with a friend, and they think that it isnt safe to drink pee, but I heard that pee is sterile and safe to drink assuming youare disease free. Isnt it true that you can drink pee safely?

Answer

The short answer Yes.brbrSome background info quotContrary to popular belief, urine is actually a byproduct of blood filtration and not waste filtration. Medically, it is referred to as plasma ultrafiltrate. brbrIt is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys whose principal function is regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. brbrNutrientfilled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified blood undergoes a more extensive filtering process in the kidneys, where excess components not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of the sterile, watery solution that is urine.brbr Far from being harmful, urine contains known healing agents. Clinical studies have proven that the thousands of critical body chemicals and nutrients that end up in urine reflect the individual bodys functions. When reutilized, these chemicals and nutrients act as natural vaccines, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic agents as well as hormone balancers and allergy relievers.quot
