Marine mammals obtain fresh water through their diet. Suggesting they survive without any fresh water is just plain wrong


Humans also obtain (some) fresh water through their diet and metabolism.

To explain the latter: when you combine a carbohydrate with oxygen, you mostly get CO2 and H2O.

(No opinion implied on whether humans should drink more water.)


I was suggesting that diet can be sufficient. That said, I can’t fathom how many shrimp you have to eat to quench your thirst.
