Is french for "drinks his water" and it happens to be very similar to my last name. But I'm not going to take the credit for this one.
Ashley sent me this. Not sure if the facts are all true but you can't go wrong with drinking more water.
Here they are:
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%. #4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8.. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

The October 2009 (1) issue of the journal Pediatrics published updated data pertaining to the incidence of Autism in US children, stating “Numerous studies have suggested that the prevalence of diagnosed Autism spectrum disorders in the US has increased dramatically in the past decades.” Studies in the early 2000’s found 1 in 166 US children to have autism, and the estimated incidence of autism in 2008 was 1 in every 151 US children. This 2009 published study estimated the incidence of autism to be 1 in every 91 US children, noting that the “prevalence is higher than previous US estimates.”
There have been constant yet controversial claims of autism incidence being linked to exposure to the neurotoxin mercury. In that regard, the following study (2) pertaining to mercury exposure as a consequence of consuming products containing High Fructose Corn Syrup is thought provoking and potentially devastating.
