Best Answer

All food and drinks contains a high percentage of water. Once the required nutrients have been removed from these foods and drinks an excess of water is left over. While some of this water is used by the body and some is lost during perspiration the rest is passed from the body in the form of urine. Urine not only removes excess water but it is a solution containing many potentially harmful chemicals which might otherways accumlulate in the body and slowly poison it.
