I have to rely on my sources and beth is my most trustworhy souces on this 
one. What's your number for 1 lb of glycogen burned?

No need to aspersions unless you want to get back into all that again--stick 
with the scince if you please.

 were no substrate intake at all (hey guys, let's 
 try that!) the animal would also be burning fat 
 (since the insulin levels would be very low) which
 also releases a little metabolic water. However, 
 the losses are way in excess of the metabolic water
 release, which is insufficient to meet the needs 
 of even non-exercising animals.>

Again, how much water is released with a lb of burned glycogen. Do you know?

As I mentioned before, you have to open up your horizons in order to discover 
that the horse is not actually from Mars.

 if there was sufficient damage to the gut,
 kidney or heart tissues to release the amount

So you say. I say, the jury's out.
