时差N小时 喝尿是安全的吗?(下)

 

But if you kept recycling urine by urinating and drinking it multiple times, wouldn’t those minerals eventually build up until the urine was no longer safe? Over several days, your urine would become saturated¹ with minerals. And drinking it would really tax the kidneys, whose job it is to flush unwanted minerals and toxins² from the body. Drink urine long enough and you may go into kidney failure. On a related note, you may have heard that in some cultures, urine is used as medicine. There’s no hard evidence that urine has any curative powers, which doesn’t mean it has none. But urologists tend to believe that whatever healthful powers drinking urine has would be negated³ by toxic⁴ buildup in the kidneys.

但是，如果你一只排尿和并喝尿很多次，这些矿物最不会积累吗?那直到尿液不再安全？过一些天，你的尿液会变成饱和的矿物质。这时再喝会加重肾脏的负担，而肾脏的功能是排掉身体不需要的矿物质和毒素。如果长时间喝尿，你可能会肾功能衰竭。在一些相关的记录，你可能已经听说，在一些文化中尿可以当做药物。没有确凿的证据证明尿有任何疗效的功能能，但这并不意味着它没有治病的功能。但是，泌尿科医生往往认为健康的人无论喝什么样的尿都会在肾脏中积聚毒性。
