What is now also known, and not very clear from the article, is that sipping water throughout the day is not very good.

As the article is pointing out, a lot is happening when you drink water. And sipping all day means the body never gets rest from the 'water intake mode'.

So it is best to drink water until you have enough when you feel thirsty.

Edit: this was studied by Thomas D'havé, Leo Pruimboom, Tim Noakes, and others

I think it's not very clear from the article because the article doesn't claim that sipping water throughout the day isn't very good, just that it doesn't cause some neurons to fire.

Do you have any source for "sipping water throughout the day is not very good" and "sipping all day means the body never gets rest from the 'water intake mode'"?

Source? This seems just as unsubstantiated as the article.

"water intake mode" The body is not known to have such a mode unless you are referring to literally having your mouth open while you pour water into it.

I suppose next you will tell me that constantly breathing is harmful because it means that the body never gets rest from air intake mode.
