Other than possible water purity, what is the benefit of Penta water over a
glass of water with a little lemon in it that will also assist in hydration?

< you drink. It’s a good way to get those minerals that come in sea salt.
Celtic says there are 70 minerals in their salt.
I tried this and found even the smallest amount of sea salt (I specifically
used gray sea salt since that’s what Heidi recommends in her “On The Diet”
column) made the water taste salty which I did not like. A real bummer
since I spent about $8 for the really good stuff!!

- 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily. Sipped
Why would you not absorb the water that you drink? Can you do anything about
that?
Thanks

I drink so much water, at least 160 oz a day…just wondering if you
can drink to much because I have been feeling very bloated lately.
I’ve been drinking this much for years.

Great post Christina - it’s still listening to our own body. Not about what this
person does or doesn’t do, or says to do, etc…. but what works for us. We need
to ‘lighten up’ and not be so rigid. It’s following basics, then going from
there. We are still individuals within same blood type, including secretor
status. Yes, we definitely all are very different.

find this odd considering I am not allergic to iodine– but it is just the way
it is. There is not an explanation why I can not freshwater fish or saltwater –
however I am different.I believe all of this similar to the unifying subject
that brings everyone to this list. Diet based on blood type. Countless doctors,
scientists, nutriionists, believe the idea to be hogwash— others see the
credibility. No right or wrong answer. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

An important point, especially in light of the fact that we are on a
list for the blood type diet, where foods beneficial for one blood
type may be lethal for another.

Okay well let me say this I started just expressing what I was told - and got
jumped on by Ms. Maskell. (sheesh). So here is
my responses to her posts and I apologize to those who might become offended..
I wasn’t going to reply because - frankly -
she came accross as sanctimonious, etc. and well it kinda hacked me off - I was
not trying to be rude but I just had to Me:
I don’t recall saying it leeches it from our bones… all I remember saying was
that I heard that it binds to calcium and
inteferes with absorption. If it did that (saying we ingested enough phosphoric
acid and not enough calcium, etc) then it
wouldn’t leech it from our bones it would just affect our replacing every day
calcium loss (due to just living) hence
resulting in bone density loss — this would not be the same as “leeching” it
from our bones (which I don’t recall saying).

Yes well your “study” - I was just pointing out that for every one study you
would probably find at least one other having a
different hypothesis. And the study you posted just put forth their hypothesis
(same as the other studies - no difference -
every one has an opinion)… one thing to consider is that maybe it isn’t the
caffeine but some other component of
caffeine-type beverages, maybe the drinks were too cold, too hot, etc. (silly I
know but we all have seen “studies” by
reputable agencies that later were modified due to updated information (coffee
is the most flip-flopped one I’ve seen).
Unfortunately there are so many variables to the human condition that even true
scientists (let alone laypersons) don’t
understand it all. So the bottom line (for me) is that I read the “results” and
file the information away - whether I believe
it, adhere to it, etc. depends. - As for their theory about displacing milk
consumption - well I’ve also read studies that
say that milk isn’t a good source of calcium (as far as bioavailability) so hmm
there ya go… (I’m not saying I believe or
don’t believe just that I’ve seen that theory also)…
I also didn’t ask you to believe me - I was just saying that’s what I heard. As
for the open mind. sheesh. You started out
spazzed because I dared state another opinion. (Which wasn’t even mine).
First..buyer beware anyone on the internet reading information put out there by
who knows.
And just because some layperson reads “studies” on the internet or journal to
become an “informed consumer” doesn’t mean they
know squat either.
And how does someone saying that you were rather forceful in your denial of what
I posted “preferring to keep their own ideas
unchallenged” and their minds “closed”?? Just because you perceive that they are
disagreeing with you? I don’t think they
even implied that they were disagreeing with you - just with your methodology of
delivering your message regarding my post.
Yes, I know I am free to believe what I want. I also know I am free to post
what I want (within limits). I’m not trying to
disseminate poor information I was just passing on an interesting therom that I
heard (just as you posted yours). I don’t
expect nor desire to have anyone take my word for a scientific study since I am
not a scientist nor do I claim to be. I guess
if you won’t let 600 other people believe that phosphoric acid to be the cause
then I should take it upon myself to inform
them that caffeine is also not the cause of calcium loss and there are
scientific studies to support it (based on the 8-2001
AJCN).
Personally IMO even the scientists don’t really know. After all your study just
looked at the calcium excreted in urine.
Well, I think (but once again I’m no scientist) that calcium can be loss by
other ways than just through urine (but I could be
wrong -shrug)… so it’s still possible that something in sodas could be
contributing to bone loss in another fashion than
excreting it through the urine.
I NEVER, EVER contradicted your post. I just put forth another hypothesis aside
from yours. I didn’t say that calcium didn’t
cause bone loss. I just said that I heard that phosphoric acid did. I never
said that caffeine didn’t also. And in fact in
my second post I said
QUOTE “and actually they probably both have an effect” END QUOTE - meaning
both calcium and phosphoric acid. Now how does
that try to refute what you said about caffeine? AND I didn’t ask about where
you got your information because I can’t drink
caffeine or caffeine products anymore (not even chocolate boohoo) so it was a
moot point for me.
Yes we could have if you hadn’t gotten snippy.
hers and we went downhill from there. I didn’t get defensive - you had said you did your research - so I went to look
for an article myself. I don’t consider that
defensive - I thought I was exchanging information. (silly me) - I did a VERY
quick search and found an article (unfortunately
it was an old one). At that point you said “Give me a break, Crystal”
I mean HOW RUDE!!@!!!!! Your whole posture in that post was rude and down right
insulting as have been your subsequent posts
on this topic.
Now if you had said something like ( UH Crystal that post was 35 years ago, have
you seen anything more current would have
been more acceptable.
I also must bring up one more point just because a study was done 35 years ago
does not mean it is invalid. If you had bother
to read the study rather than just spaz at the date you will find the following:
Short term study:
Man. Studies on 15 students, who drank 2000-4000 mg of phosphoric
acid in fruit juices every day for 10 days, and on 2 males who
received 3900 mg of phosphoric acid every day for 14 days, revealed no
observable change in urine composition indicative of a disturbed
metabolism.12
Hmm seems similar to the study just released - imagine that. The study just
stated (in parts) of it that excessive calcium
could cause a disturbance however it didn’t identify what excessive was (but
more than avg consumption of phosphoric food
additive amounts I think).
So arggghhghghgh…
delete my posts from now on if you want .. sheesh.
Crystal. (arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Karen, Maybe it wasn’t your intention but the way you came across was
completely steam-rolling what Crystal said. You also came across this way
after one of my posts recently. No one was disputing what you were saying -
it’s a very valid and interesting point. Just the way you communicated it
after Crystal added her info - also interesting - seemed aggressive. The
written word can be very powerful sometimes, and I am also guilty of not
checking how I may come across. As I said, it was just how you came across.
Let’s not spoil the good communication we have on the list, hey?
