It is now official. Bottled water has outpaced carbonated soft drinks to become the largest beverage category, by volume, in America. That means bottled water is now the Nation's favorite packaged beverage. To celebrate this historic event, IBWA has developed a social media campaign called "Bottled Water Is No.1 for a Reason." This campaign thanks consumers for choosing healthy hydration and identifies some of the many reasons consumers choose bottled water over other packaged beverages. The items in this new toolkit (below) provide members with a variety of Facebook posts, Instagram images, Pinterest pins, Twitter tweets, and web posters that you can share online with your customers, legislators, friends, and family. IBWA members are encouraged to share this bottled water good news story with your employees, customers, family, media, and legislators to educate them about this historic event.

Effect of increased water intake on plasma copeptin in healthy adults PURPOSE: Inter-individual variation in median plasma copeptin is associated with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus, progression of chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular events. In this study, we examined whether 24-h urine osmolality was associated with plasma copeptin and whether increasing daily water intake could impact circulating plasma copeptin. METHODS: This trial was a prospective study conducted at a single investigating center. Eighty-two healthy adults (age 23.6 ± 2.9 years, BMI 22.2 ± 1.5 kg/m2, 50% female) were stratified based upon habitual daily fluid intake volumes: arm A (50-80% of EFSA dietary reference values), arm B (81-120%), and arm C (121-200%). Following a baseline visit, arms A and B increased their drinking water intake to match arm C for a period of 6 consecutive weeks. RESULTS: At baseline, plasma copeptin was positively and significantly associated with 24-h urine osmolality (p = 0.002) and 24-h urine specific gravity (p = 0.003) but not with plasma osmolality (p = 0.18), 24-h urine creatinine (p = 0.09), and total fluid intake (p = 0.52). Over the 6-week follow-up, copeptin decreased significantly from 5.18 (3.3;7.4) to 3.90 (2.7;5.7) pmol/L (p = 0.012), while urine osmolality and urine specific gravity decreased from 591 ± 206 to 364 ± 117 mOsm/kg (p < 0.001) and from 1.016 ± 0.005 to 1.010 ± 0.004 (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: At baseline, circulating levels of copeptin were positively associated with 24-h urine concentration in healthy young subjects with various fluid intakes. Moreover, this study shows, for the first time, that increased water intake over 6 weeks results in an attenuation of circulating copeptin. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02044679.
