Don't you have to pee a great deal more after coffee than after water? I do. And my mother, who has to use the restroom every two hours with water, cannot drink coffee or tea whatsoever because they increase the pressure and frequency of those trips. I don't know what the percentage is, but I listen to my body and I hear quite plainly that my body does not like soda and coffee (and that my mom's doesn't, either) and I base my actions on that.

Absolutely it's important to question things and have scientific proof, but I think the idea that coffee/soda is just as good for you as water is suspect and I'd like proof. Also, your zeal for this topic is baffling me.
