Is urine safe to drink?

it is safe to drink, in fact many people use it as a detox... but beware if you have a bladder infection or kidney infection this can carry through your body if you drink urine!! Doctors do not advise it as it is infact all the toxins from the foods and drinks you have had, so I wouldnt recommend sitting drinking it all day everyday!!! But it is supposed to be "good" for you in small amounts.....personally I wouldn't indulge myself, but each to their own!!!!!!

What do you think astronauts drink... Ofc its safe (unless someone mentioned you have some sort of urinal organ related infection) and its not just a rumor that urine still has quite a few vitamins and other substances.

To answer your question, I wouldn't drink mine. But I know it's safe to drink. One of India's ex-Prime Minister would do it. But that was for health reasons. It wasn't a supplement...but he needed to drink it because some nutrient that his body needed was being given out in the form of urine and his body was not able to absorb it...so he had to take it in the form of urine. That's the only case that I have heard of.

Have you not heard about URINE THERAPY alternative medicine... screwdriver,urine is a panacea... http://www.universal-tao.com/article/urine_therapy.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy

Actually i dnt knw the scientific reason of drinking urine but my never always drink a cup of urine every morning. He told me that he was prescribed by his doctor and he is a patient of kidney problem. But i don't want to drink my own urine..wackkkkk

Even if some people claims that urine is safe to drink, I still believe that it's not. Urine drinker may not feel the negative effects after several weeks or months, however it will still show in time. The toxins in our body is released through our urine. If you drink it, it's like returning the toxins back to your body.

there is no medical evidence to support any claim that it will help as a supplement, but in cases of dying from the effects of dehydration it can make you live longer. it would have to be a life saving moment for me and then i think i would think twice.

Wow, I can't believe it. That's disgusting. We have other ways to supplement vitamin, why choose excretion? I'd rather die than drink urine, even if it is proved to be safe to drink urine.

I agree that there are some healthy compounds in the urine but it is not enough to convince me to drink it. The waste products in our body metabolism is excreted though the urine. Some of this waste products are toxic to our cells. The type of toxins and degree of toxicity depends on the type of food intake and its amount. I believe that it is not safe to drink urine. I will never drink my urine.

fresh urine has no/little bacteria, you can search it in the web or read a book. if yours have many then you have an infection. its about hygiene, i will not drink something that is waste of my body.

i heard it is good for the health specially if your kidney is really processing well. However if its just me, i wouldn't want to do such. It can still be dangerous. Plus it is simply taking the waste your body excreted.

well, chinese people believe that urine is also good for the health. as for me, i don't believe that. Urine is a waste, excreted by the body. this means that, it's not good at all. because if it's okay, the body shouldn't have excreted it on the first place.

I think urine contains waste so it should have lots of germs and other harmful microorganism. So I don't think its safe. But even if some expert claims that it is safe and has lots of benefits I still won't drink it. For me its like drinking from a canal or something. I just cannot stomach it. I think I'll puke :D

In my point of view. Urine is a waste comes out of our body and therefore for sure its dirty. It has already bacteria and of course the smell, eew. But for survival, for instance your in the middle of the ocean were there is nothing to drink, better to drink urine than drinking salty water. It might save your life.

hi screwdriver hey I just ate dinner.oh yuck no I would not drink urine as it contains refuse from your body and hardly any vitamins this is all stuff your body throws out as impure, not good for you. yuck no I sure would not want to take the chance of infection and debris my body has tossed out.revolting not in the lifetime. yuck even thinking about it curdles my tummy.

Ewww!!! YES, it is safe to drink and many soldiers are taught to do it as a survival technique. But think of it this way, it is your body's liquid waste so it doesn't have alot of vitamins in it as your body took what there was in most cases.

Of course not.. Anything that goes out from our body is dirty.. remember urinary system cleans our body and all wastes that is being collected is disposed through urinating, so our urine is full of dirt collected from our body.. Even though it has many excess vitamins and minerals there are lots of bacteria there, why drink it??

i heard about drinking urine stuff but am not sure how true that is though i heard its suppose to keep you hydrated. if i had to drink my own urine i would have to stop paying the water bill first lol
