What does water do for you?
Our bodies require water to function properly. In fact, while the amount varies with age, at maturity the human body generally contains between 65% and 70% water.
Water saves calories
Water provides hydration without adding sugar, caffeine or artificial ingredients.
• People are drinking an average of 225 more calories every day when compared to beverage consumption the past several decades.1
• In 2006, 46% of PET water growth came from carbonated soft drinks.2
• Consumers avoided 356 billion calories, an estimated savings of 110 million pounds.

Consider these facts:
• There has been an increase of over 300% in childhood obesity in the last 30 years.3
• Two-thirds of U.S. adults are obese or overweight.4
• If this continues, by 2015, 75% of adults and 23% of children will be overweight or obese.5
• By switching from one carbonated soft drink a day to one a week, you can skim 50,000 calories and 65 cups of sugar a year from your diet.
