Abstract: Objective To describe the design, methods, and challenges encountered during a randomized clinical trial aimed to promote water intake for reducing risks of metabolic syndrome in Mexican women.

“…After reading the abstracts another seven trials were excluded: a) three were not RCTs or cross -over trials ( [8], [9], [10]) b) one trial compared alcoholic beverages and water [11] c) three reviews investigated the correlation between water intake and its influence on body weight and health, but failed to cite RCTs on risk of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance ([12], [13], [5]). Therefore, three RCTs and two cross -over trials were left for review ([14], [15], [16], [17], [18]).…”
