Many Americans unwittingly behave much like a captive desert sand rat, says Dr. Andrew Hammond .
Hammond: Dehydration and excessive salt intake contribute to obesity.
He says the sand rat lives in the salty marshes and deserts of Northern Africa eats the sap of Salicornia the glasswort, a plant that looks like asparagus.
Hamman: The role of dehydration and production of fructose and fat is often underestimated.
Richard Johnson : Drinking eight tall glasses of water a day is good for those at risk of dehydration or starvation.
Johnson : For those not at risk, vasopressin could drive most of the metabolic effects of excess fructose, like weight gain, fat accumulation, fatty liver and prediabetes.
He says drinking more water and reducing salt intake offer cheap, easy and healthy strategies.
