News Drinking your Own Pee = Good for You?

At least, according to a small group of people in the pot-smoking home of the yet-to-be-caught "Mad Pooper" state of Colorado:

So, you think you have bad morning breath...

So, how wants to verify the claims with their own challenge?

This reminds me of the time I broke out with the giggles during the 8th grade when I did a presentation on The Incas, whose women washed their hair in urine!

Considering that it's a waste product that your body got rid of in the first place, the idea that ingesting it would be "good for you" is somewhat counter-intuitive.

There are a lot of urinobibes in history -- people are fucking weird. I'm in a Facebook Group called I Know for a Fucking Fact That's Not Science, and while mostly positive, I've learned way more about modern urinobibes than I ever wanted to know. People not only drink it, but bathe in it, put drops in their eyes, and fucking age it.

I remember one FB post that ended up in the group, this woman had been doing aged urine eyedrops, and her eyes were getting red, puffy, and pussy (obviously). The people responding to her said it was the toxins being flushed out.

Alternative medicine and "wellness" need to fucking die.

There's not even a scientific claim being made here. It's just some idiots who gather in a support group and drink their own piss, and Tharp somehow trying to tie that into Colorado legalizing pot and laughing at his own juvenile potty humor. Closed.

Like this shit. These people really believe in this! One woman was bathing her 4 year old son in aged urine every day. To clarify, I'm not in these fucked up groups, I'm in the group that discusses (and sometimes mocks) the fucked up groups.

Ninja'd before I hit the closed button.

Never thought otherwise. I was just talking about the people mentioned in the OP and giving a justification for closing the thread.
