Estimation of the share of each water source for adults in France. Water intake provided to the French adults.
We have calculated that the approximate amount of the different water intakes for an average adult population consuming 11.8 MJ/day (2,837 kcal/day), where 1.4 MJ (337 kcal) are provided by beverages, is 2.7 liter/day. These intakes include: 'invisible intakes' supplied by endogenous water (348 ml/12.9%) and water contained in food, fruit or dairy products (1,008 ml/37.6%), and 'visible intakes' provided by water contained in commercialized beverages such as bottled water, fruit juices, sodas, fruit drinks, alcoholic drinks (678 ml/25.3%) and tap water (estimate/650 ml/24.2%). We advise to carry out consumption studies according to the various age brackets.
