BEIJING (Reuters) - More than three million Chinese drink their own urine in the belief it is good for their health, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.

Participants at a recent seminar on the practice in the northeastern city of Shenyang were told that urine contains many active ingredients which strengthen the immune system, Xinhua said.

"Urine contains no bacterium and is more sanitary than blood," Yang Liansheng, a professor from the Liaoning Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was quoted as saying.

Engineer Zhu Jinfu told the seminar he had been drinking his own urine since he was 13 and had lived a healthy life for the last 58 years, Xinhua said.

Many of his forefathers had also lived to a ripe old age thanks to urine therapy, he said.

Golden Shower anyone?

I'm going to hell for that last comment.

What's the big deal?  Millions of Americans have been drinking piss for decades, only we call it Budweiser.

I guess in China getting pissed off ain't that bad.

I guess the word recycle comes to mind.....

That's ok, Madonna thinks peeing on her feet in the shower keeps checks fungus growth.

I've heard some Germans do it too... for medicinal purpose.  I think they said it cures some skin disease.

Whenever a government wants to manipulate the sheep of thier nation to "hate" an adversary, they utilize "media releases" that de-humanize the intended nation.
