I never could wrap my brain around the urine-drinking thing. Maybe it's because of my concept of "waste products". Dogs eat their own poo, after all. And drink out of the toilet (making that cool sound). They seem blissfully happy. But the breath... the breath!
One of my friends has a dog that I have nicknamed "dumpster breath".
Urine is the body's way of getting rid of toxins and excess vitamins and minerals it doesn't need. Toxins are already reason enough to avoid drinking urine - strange how people want to eradicate toxic substances from the environment but then hop on the pee-drinking bandwagon on the grounds that it's "healthy". Why is it healthy? Because some slick-talking bozo says it is?
Then there is the elimination of unneeded vitamins and minerals. The key word here is "unneeded". When your body has enough of these nutrients, it dumps the rest in waste. Even if you reingested those nutrients, it would serve no purpose because your body already has enough!
And exactly how much of these nutrients is there in a cup of urine? Wouldn't a multivitamin pill be a more effective in delivering these substances? If you're eating properly, and optionally taking vitamins, is it really necessary to drink urine for "health" reasons? I don't think so.
Besides, I take a multivitamin pill every day that makes me pee fluorescent yellow.
And if there is some unusual property to urine that makes it so healthy, why hasn't it been isolated, extracted, and put into a form that makes both more appetizing and also excludes the toxins? And has scientific proof that it really works?
I think the whole thing is a myth that has persisted through time and that hasn't been conclusively busted in the public knowledge arena. In shorter and plainer terms, an old wives tale. Snake oil. And people tend to believe it because of the "alternative medicine" overtones, which automatically makes any scientific challenge to it a conspiracy to suppress the truth.
You want to drink your pee as a yucky predicament in a bondage scenario? Fine, go ahead. It won't hurt you. But don't blindly believe that it holds some kind of miracle cure for anything. It just doesn't hold up under any sustained critical scrutiny.
