- FadsDo
- you
- really
- know
- what
- you
- are
- drinking?
- Are
- you
- sure?
- We
- all
- consume
- many
- drinks
- every
- day,
- often
- without
- thinking.
- Perhaps
- we're
- just
- thirsty,
- perhaps
- we
- need
- something
- to
- wake
- us
- up,
- perhaps
- we
- need
- something
- to
- relax
- us
- at
- the
- end
- of
- the
- day.
- But
- have
- you
- ever
- stopped
- to
- wonder
- what
- exactly
- is
- in
- that
- chai
- latte
- you're
- guzzling
- or
- just
- what
- those
- added
- electrolytes
- in
- your
- bottled
- water
- are
- supposed
- to
- do?Whether
- it's
- a
- simple
- glass
- of
- water
- or
- early
- morning
- espresso,
- the
- finest
- champagne
- or
- energy
- drink
- the
- morning
- after,
- all
- drinks
- have
- an
- impact
- on
- our
- body
- in
- one
- way
- or
- another.

- the
- scientific
- evidence
- to
- see
- if
- we
- can
- get
- to
- the
- bottom

- questions,
- such
- as:Is
- a
- regular
- glass
- of
- wine
- good
- for
- our
- health
- or
- not?
Should
- we
- worry
- about
- energy
- drinks?
Is
- fluoride
- in
- our
- tap
- water
- harmful?
How
- do
- non-dairy
- milks
- compare

- other?
What's
