Once upon a time, most of us could walk across a parking lot or push a stroller down the street without a bottle of water in our hands. It doesn't seem that way anymore. Today, Americans consume the most bottled water of any country -- upwards of 25 billion liters a year. One question can't be ignored: Is it really any better for us than ordinary tap water? The answer: not necessarily. With the exception of a few isolated pockets of truly bad drinking water, most municipal systems and most bottled water sources are fairly equal in terms of contaminants and other health and safety issues.
It comes only once a year, and St. John’s is ready. So mark it on your calendar now. St. John’s Life Fair is set for Saturday, March 31st at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center on the campus of MSSU. It’s a new location, but we’ll have all the same free screenings and activities for the public. Our featured guest speaker this year is diet and health expert Richard Simmons. He’ll speak at 1:15. For more information about St. John’s Annual Life Fair, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
