drinking water on an empty stomach

i've been trying to find some proof that the claims made for this are true and i've been so far unsuccessful.. i saw the same baseless article about drinking water after you wake up (without even brushing your teeth!) about some japanese formulation and its supposed to cure every illness in the world including cancer!! totally stupid how people will include anything on their blog without proof..

Mayoclinic has a nice article about water and its benefits (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283) but it mentions nothing about drinking it on an empty stomach. I wish people would stop to think before they follow any practice..

  1. whenever you ingest something, you Gut (intestine starts to move) getting ready to receive it. So when you wake up the first thing you want to do is to go to the loo. For that, if you drink water, your gut moves, pushing down the junk to make way for food. so you get a better loo experience. Thats about it!
