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. However, 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.
