Part two: Getting back to men, chemicals, and the need for water....
It has been discovered that the chemicals BPA and phthalates found in the plastic water bottles, just doesn’t affect women. It, also, affects men. In a 2006 review of 700 studies by NIEHS, it was found that "rodents exposed... had higher rates of... reduced sperm counts, and neurological disorders."
In the Vogue Magazine article of August-2007, An Inconvenient Truth; The Link Between Infertility & the Environment, it stated that BPA "has been shown in animal studies to cause prostate cancer and malformed genitals."
We have so many chemicals in our environment that affect our health and well-being and that of our family. We are bombarded with chemicals in the air we breathe, in and on the foods we eat, and in the water we drink. The chemicals in the environment can cause us to be overly acidic, too. We have a population that is generally overly acidic. To contribute to this is stressful lifestyle we lead, the foods we eat, and the beverages we drink, among other things.
Beverages such as sodas, sports drinks, and energy drinks are acidic, as well as, even some of the bottled waters. The plastics in which they are contained leach chemicals since water is a solvent.
So, in view of all this, what can everyone-men, women, and children-drink to stay both hydrated and healthy during times of physical activity and stress without causing them more health challenges? Find out more tomorrow-
This is important, Guys. We live in a chemical environment that is taking a toll on our health. So bookmark this blog. Find out how important & necessary good, pure water is that's, also, alkaline, super hydrating, and anti-oxidant-many times more anti-oxidant than vitamin C or Green Tea-for our health, well-being, and longevity. Any baby boomer out there will attest to the importance of living active, productive lives for as long as we possibly can. Right?
Well, water is a vital part of that process. After all we are over 70% water. If we aren't consuming enough water, then God must have made a mistake. Because that's what we should be drinking. He didn't make us 70% coffee, soda, or whatever else men drink to quench their thirst-He made WATER!.
Till next time...Take care & God bless,

Men Need Water, Too
Everyone needs water. It's not just for women, Guys. It is vitally important for life. We can't live without it. You're more than 70% water. Your brain is 85% water! However, the question is: What water do we drink?
Let's consider some interesting facts.There was an interesting article in the August issue of Vogue magazine of 2007, on the chemicals in your environment and the fact that they cause many health problems people encounter in their lives. As one quote brought out, " We're all awash in a sea of chemicals," said Sarah Janssen, M.D., PhD., a scientist with the natural Resources Defense Council. People continue to be exposed while we try and figure out how to test things."
The chemicals of primary concern are the group of " synthetic compounds known as endocrine disruptors so named for their ability to mimic or block hormones that regulate many of the body's functions." One of the chemicals in question was bisphenol-A, or BPA's, on which there has been a great deal of discussion of late.In the Vogue article, it mentioned how the chemical can affect women. Studies revealed the following: "Low-level fetal exposure in animals linked to breast cancer', "harm mammary gland development in females at puberty", and "traced the chemical to an increase in miscarriages."
However, it has been discovered that it, also, affects men: "Reduced sperm counts, and neurological disorders," found in a 2006 review of 700 studies by the NIEHS. In the aforementioned Vogue article it mentioned "prostate cancer", too.
Next time, I'll discuss this in more detail. In the meantime, you can get a more information at http://www.be-alkaline.com/ Write me if you have any questions at stephen@be-alkaline.com . I'll be happy to answer them.
Till next time...,

FYI-Did you know? 90% of the the cost of bottled water is the plastic packaging, lid, and label.--http://business.earth911.org/materials/plastic/ Let's take care of the earth and stop using plastic water bottles for the sake of future generations-our grandchildren's grandchildren. It takes a thousand years to break down. Every bit of plastic ever produced, except for the very small amount either incinerated or recycled, is still around today and will be for about a thousand years more, and the amount disposed of is growing exponentially every day. Can the earth and its environment or eco-system survive such abuse? Think about it...
