         <description><![CDATA[A soup of pharmaceutical waste spews from the faucets supplying drinking water to 41 million Americans, according to a disturbing study from the Associated Press. At least 24 major cities are affected, including New York, Washington, Boston Chicago, and Los Angeles.

         <title>Drugs In The Water No Big Deal, Says NYC Official</title>
         <description><![CDATA[In regards to a headline grabbing AP investigation that found the drinking water of major cities contained trace amounts of an array of pharmacopoeia, the deputy commissioner of New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, "A person would have to drink one million glasses of water to get the dose of even one over-the-counter ibuprofen tablet or the caffeine in one cup of coffee...Even at eight glasses of water per day, this would take the average person over 300 years to consume." So for those of you hoping to replace your medicine cabinet just by draining the Brita, sorry Charlie. However, there are no studies on the long-term effects to human of small exposure to a vast array of drugs, although, the Times notes, they have been shown to cause mutations in fish.

         <title>Alkalinity and Weight Loss</title>
         <description><![CDATA[CNN Sunday's Carol Lin interviews Dr. Young about body alkalinity and weight loss. Increasing your body's alkalinity and decreasing its acidity inevitably leads to weight loss. Dr. Young has written a best selling book on the subject, pH Miracle for Weight Loss.

Watch the movie to see the benefits, than ask yourself, "How would it benefit my family and me to lose weight just by changing our drinking water?"

Because that is precisely what is happening right now!

         <title>AP Probe Finds Drugs In Drinking Water</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<strong>AP IMPACT: Pharmaceuticals Found in Drinking Water, Affecting Wildlife and Maybe Humans</strong>

By J<strong>EFF DONN, MARTHA MENDOZA</strong> and <strong>JUSTIN PRITCHARD</strong> <em>Associated Press Writers</em>
The Associated Press

A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.

To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.

         <title>The Nibble Online Foodie Site Reviews eVamor</title>
         <description><![CDATA[eVamor proposes to be the naturally therapeutic, functional food solution for people who have heartburn/acid indigestion, blood pressure issues, low energy, headaches, backaches, weight gain, bone loss, premature aging, and low/high blood sugar. If it is starting to sound like snake oil, some people believe these conditions may link to prolonged internal acidity, or what is known medically as acidosis.  Today, eVamor implies, you can “take the waters” and cure it all by balancing your internal pH. We’ll get back to this in the next section. 


read entire article here: <a href="http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/beverages/waters/evamor-mineral-water.asp">The Nibble.com</a>

Great article yet we would like to correct a few misperceptions in the article.

REBUTTAL;

The doctors are correct: you cannot directly or indirectly control blood pH (acidity) or lower the stomach’s acidity when it is fully charged with hydrochloric acid without a proportionate amount of alkalinity.

eVamor is not concerned with blood pH, which is controlled, primarily, by the coordinated efforts of the brain, kidneys, lungs.  It is concerned with a diet that lowers the “dietary acid load” which stresses the body in the first place.  Also, mitigating stomach acid during digestion is very difficult.  Where eVamor is also helpful is with relieving pain and distress before and after digestion due to residual, excess acidity. 

Let’s not overlook that the stomach requires considerable amounts of water for quality digestion as well as for regularity, another function eVamor is naturally suited for. Even the production of hydrochloric acids for digestion and the essential acid neutralizing carbonates for the digestive tract depend on the minerals and water that eVamor supplies.

These are preventative dietary issues and not medical issues. Consider that the diseases that most affect the American people today are degenerative. These are indisputably linked to poor diet, an area American medicine is not suited to addressing, as evidenced by the high rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and so on.

According to an article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on the 21st Century American Diet (http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/81/2/341#T5), evolution has not prepared us for the acidic modern western diet.  Our ancestors ate a basically pH neutral diet with an emphasis on leafy green alkaline foodstuffs.  eVamor is, at its essence, an alkaline food, pure and simple. It also contains antioxidants and essential key minerals for overall well being.   

What the expert doctors have not discussed is the body’s need for more alkaline and less acid foods to “reduce dietary acid loading”. Too much acid raises body fluid acidity (non blood) otherwise known as extracellular and intracellular pH.  The kidneys do not control these peripheral areas outside of the blood circulation but our diet does have considerable influence on this pH.

Diet can and does affect these areas over time to the detriment of bone, kidney, blood pressure, suppleness of arteries and muscle wasting and contribute significantly to a further variety of other body problems according to the findings in the 21st  Century American Diet (http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/81/2/341#T5). In a large, long term, gold standard study by the University of California at San Francisco discussed along with related studies in the respected publication Imaginis, (http://www.imaginis.com/osteoporosis/osteo_prevent2.asp), regarding osteoporosis, a conclusion was the number one cause of osteoporosis, after menopause, was dietary acid.  More evidence on the dangers of excess body acid and its prevention through diet as opposed to drugs that is compelling and growing.

Once again, eVamor is a food; perhaps you may view it as a preventative food.  It is based on science, the basic science taught in American high schools and medical schools.  Whether the students are listening, one has to wonder.

         <title>What is pH?</title>
         <description>pH is a scientific abbreviation for potential Hydrogens. They are Hydrogens without their orbiting electrons – hungry for other atom’s electrons. When this type of Hydrogen eats other atom’s electrons, it is called an Acid reaction. 

The number of Hydrogens in a drop of water is huge, more than you can imagine.

So the numbers on the pH scale – 1 to 7 (acid) and 7 to 14 (alkaline) are mathematical exponents – squaring and cubing and up the scale in powers of 10. Now you can manage BIG numbers of Hydrogens.

Example: the difference between a pH of 7 and 8 is 1 or 10 times more alkaline. The difference between a pH of 7 and 9 is 2 or 100 times more alkaline.

Therefore, eVamor, with a pH of 9, is 100 times more alkaline than water with a pH of 7?

Improve your personal pH balance – drink eVamor</description>

         <title>Why do I suffer from heartburn?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Interestingly, the body has a built-in bias toward over-acidity. This is because nature has created a conundrum: Every day the body’s metabolic processes produce acidic wastes—creating some 70,000 mmol of H+ per day.1 However, to maintain itself the body must remain slightly alkaline, staying in an overall range up to 7.45. Thus, cellular function is itself acidic, but the body needs to be slightly alkaline to function as a whole. To achieve this, it must effectively eliminate or neutralize excess acid on a daily basis.
