LOTS OF WATER CAN MAKE YOU SWEAT EXCESSIVELY
Professor Whiteley, also an expert in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is convinced that over-hydration — drinking excessive amounts 
of water — is linked to many of the extreme
sweating problems his patients suffer from; some so severe they are considering surgery to remove their sweat glands.
YOU CAN DIE OF WATER POISONING
In 2008, Jacqueline Henson — a 40-year-old mother from Huddersfield, who was on a stringent weight-loss programme — died of water intoxication after drinking four litres of water in the space of a couple of hours.
And there have been other cases of people fatally ‘overdosing’ on water. ‘Drinking too much water too quickly — and we’re talking litres of water here, rather than cupfuls — can play havoc with the delicate balance of salts in the body,’ says Dr Frankie Phillips, of the British Dietetic Association.
‘If we drink a lot of water in a very short space of time, the kidneys can’t remove the excess fluid from our bodies quickly enough, and our blood becomes more diluted than it should be, with very low concentrations of salt.
‘The salt levels in blood and body cells are usually the same. But if the blood suddenly becomes more dilute, it can cause cells, in particular brain cells to swell. This can cause pressure in the skull, which can lead to headaches, and in serious cases, hyponatraemia or water intoxication, which can be fatal.’
