Field notes

The project frames hydration as a source-checking problem rather than a wellness-product opportunity. Its homepage says each claim carries an evidence grade and identifies a 12,700-word, ten-chapter format covering subjects from water history and sweating to treated water and filtration. The author also states that the book contains no product, supplement, or affiliate sales, and directs readers toward a utility water-quality report.
