→Comments on starvation and necessary water intake
Man is loosing water and water vapour via urine, stool, respiration and the skin (''persperatio insensibilis''). The amount lost every day is temperature and activity dependent and amounts to around 800 ml of water. At the same time, water is built up via oxidative processes (about 300 ml per day).

A healty adult may survive around ten days without water (temperature dependent). The Guiness book of records cites a case of 18 days without water. American coma patient Terri Schiavo died after 13 days without water. Alaskan fire fighter Robert Bogucki survived in an Australian desert for 12 days until he was found by a helicopter.
