Useless information #46 - Dolphins don't drink
View this post on Hive: Useless information #46 - Dolphins don't drink
I moved to Hive. You can read all my content there.
Due to a sad series of events steem is no longer decentralized nor censorship-resistant.
I don't know how it will look like in the future but right now it's more like a personal database than a proper blockchain.
Check out Hive.io
When you burn body fat water is also released and used.

"When a triglyceride is oxidized (or "burned up"), the process consumes many molecules of oxygen while producing carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as waste products.
So, for example, to burn 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of fat, a person needs to inhale 29 kg (64 lbs.) of oxygen. And the chemical process of burning that fat will produce 28 kg (62 lbs.) of carbon dioxide and 11 kg (24 lbs.) of water, the researchers calculated."
Their math above doesn't include all of the components involved in the burning of fat (which is why the starting material mass isn't close to the product material masses).
Thanks for the input @justtryme90. So water is a by-product. Not exclusive of dolphins. I wonder why they mentioned it as an adaptation. Perhaps the mechanism is somehow optimized.
Well we don't use it as a way to store water, it would appear that dolphins do.
