Chris K,
I had heard of the French study as well but didn't have any data from it. As I recall he did that study to try to prove that a well hydrated man at the start would supposedly have enough water in his system that drinking measured amounts of seawater would not be a problem. I had never heard of any independant verification of it so I didn't mention it. The problem is that dehydrated people, driven by thirst to drink seawater die as a result, this much we know for certain.
I would much rather have people counscious of what not to eat, preserve sweat, and collect water at every opportunity using proper techniques. I'm willing to be responsible for telling people to do that. Mac
