Meat: Humans evolved to eat meat from ruminant animals millions of years ago. Over two million years ago, the human brain reached maximum size. It has been shrinking since the advent of agriculture. The large human brain reaches peak size from the nutrients in a diet high in meat and animal fat.

Salt: Eating carbohydrates makes the kidneys hold on to salt rather than excrete it. The body then retains water to balance the blood's sodium concentration. It's not the salt that causes water retention, higher blood volume, and subsequent high blood pressure.

Water: A diet high in carbohydrates means you need to drink more water. When you take out carbohydrates from you diet, you only need to drink when you are thirsty.

Carbohydrates cause stress. If stressed, you must drink more to give the adrenals the sodium they need to send messages. Artificial sweeteners are as stimulatory as sugar and, therefore, stressful.
