People are really interested in their health. Lots of "hackers" would be super-interested in information that gave them conscious and definite ways to improve themselves.
The problem is that there's very little real information out there.
This study, if were framed properly, would have been at least mildly interesting.
Stomach emptying of fluids depends on the type of fluid... urination frequency too. Thirsty but don't want to pee all the time on a road trip or hacking marathon? Drink milk! Hack your body!
But instead they had to link it with "hydration" which is bollocks. It's not clear that anyone should care at all about hydration unless vigorous exercise or extreme heat is involved because your kidneys do a pretty good job, period.
