The document summarizes an experiment where students weighed fruits and vegetables before and after two days to see how much water they stored. They found that fruits and vegetables store a lot of water and will shrivel and lose weight if they lose their water. For example, iceberg lettuce is 96% water. The document also discusses how the human body is around 60% water and needs to consume around two quarts of water per day to function properly.
