I've even heard of studies that claim that drinking water is not good for you.

Science is a weird thing. On one hand it's useful, but on the other hand it can't really prove anything.
I sort of agree with you, but to misquote Winston Churchill "Science is the worst way to understand the World, except for all the others."

You have to at least try to work out what is going on by looking at the evidence.
