A German study has shown that drinking water is good for us. Putting water fountains into schools along with advice to kids about drinking the stuff cuts obesity risks. This may be because water encourages metabolism (it seems the kids kept drinking commercial products at their normal rate). In the US there still are water fountains in schools, but you provide an excess of lead through them, generally not thought to be a good thing. Water may also be an appetite suppressant. Has anyone linked our mad economic system with general over-consumption?

They'll have us putting milk in it next. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
