Preparing drinks like percolated coffee is a challenge, because there's no gravity to pull the water down through the granules.

Built between the 1890s and 1940s, this infrastructure still sustains some nine million people with over 1. 2 billion gallons of drinking water every day.

We can make drinking water from water that's already been used by industry. For example, a new groundwater replenishment system in California's Orange county creates near distilled water from secondary wastewater after filtering

For example, at the UK's Peterborough Power station, waste water from a nearby sewage treatment plant is used instead of drinking water.

It's soothing to drink, and at least you are getting something nutritious inside you. This remedy has been around for years in countries where milk is popular.

Studies comparing coffee, tea, beer and milk found they all stimulated the secretion of acid.

Beer and milk have the greatest effect, which suggests, somewhat surprisingly, that the ph of a drink is irrelevant

when it comes to acid production. So what is the ingredient in milk that causes the stomach to produce acid?

while fewer than expected got better in the milk-drinking group. Milk appeared to hinder the healing process.

drinking milk is encouraged still, as it is a good source of protein and calcium. But could very large quantities of milk present a problem?

They found that heavy milk drinkers (defined as four or more glasses a day) were more likely to develop an ulcer, especially amongst the men.

But the risk was also high in those drinking large quantities of milk, despite not having symptoms,

Does cranberry juice stop cystitis? Many women swear by the healing powers of cranberry juice, saying it not only helps cure painful bladder infections,

including cystitis, but also helps prevent future outbreaks as well. Given that bladder infections are one of the most common bacterial infections we face,

some women keep a carton of cranberry juice in the fridge at all times, just in case. Â Men are more fortunate.

Apple and grape juice and dark chocolate also contain proanthocyanidins, but not the right kind. So it is plausible that drinking cranberry juice could help to prevent cystitis.

A systematic review of studies published last year found that products containing cranberries reduced the risk of infection,

and those who drank the juice at least twice a day. Juice seemed to be more effective than tablets containing cranberry,

possibly because the active substances are absorbed more easily. That said the review authors found that cranberry juice made a bigger difference in some trials than in others.

So far, so good oe we have a biological explanation for why cranberry juice might prevent infections,

coupled with several small trials showing that it may make a difference. But three months after this review was published another review,

 All 24 studies involved a group of people taking some kind of cranberry product, whether in juice

half were given cranberry juice to drink twice a day for the next six months; the other half were given a juice placebo designed to look

and taste just like cranberry juice in identical cartons, but without containing any cranberries. The placebo was made for the study by the cranberry juice manufacturers Ocean Spray.

The result? Drinking cranberries made no difference to the recurrence of infections. The earlier review had excluded this study

because the authors had used a lower threshold to definite a urinary tract infection, but authors of the later review assessed it to be important enough to include in their study.

So where does this leave us? Cranberry juice might prevent infections, but if it does the effect seems to be minor at best

and it requires a lot of commitment. To reduce your risk of future infections by a small amount you would need to drink cranberry juice twice a day indefinitely.

Many people find this too hard to do in practice; the Cochrane review notes high drop out rates.

#How To Make Your Own Flavored Vodka Bacon flavored vodka? You bet. The act of flavoring or oeinfusing vodka yourself is not difficult

and is becoming wildly popular. Pick Your Flavor for Infusion There are countless options to choose from

when it comes to vodka flavors. You can use any fruit, vegetable, herb, or even a strip of bacon as your own taste playground.

Maybe youll want watermelon or citrus vodka on those hot, sunny days, or maybe warm yourself up during those chilly nights with honey pepper vodka

or the newly popular tea vodka Prepare the Ingredients for Infusion Choose one to two pieces of fruit or veggies or two to three handfuls of berries,

herbs, etc. Since you will likely be straining out the ingredients at the end of infusion, it doesnt matter

the vodka will take on a more distinct color and flavor from them, which may be overbearing for stronger flavored ingredients.

You can find big lemonade jars with spouts at most of your local superstores (these are really useful,

since you can taste your vodka periodically throughout infusion, to get just the right flavor).

Infusing the Vodka Now its time to throw all your ingredients into the jar with the vodka.

A fifth of mid to high-end vodka will be your best bet, because the better vodka has been distilled more

and has a more neutral taste to grab the flavor of the ingredients. Feel free to use more or less vodka depending on the occasion.

Shake well, than set your jar in a cool, dark area of your choice. Waiting and Macerating Maceration

(when the alcohol leaches out the properties of the ingredients) is now occurring inside the jar.

Strain your flavored vodka into the bowl, and decide what container you want to store it in (you can funnel it back into the original bottle,

You are now ready to hold your own infused vodka party and let everyone enjoy the benefits of your frugality!

#Being a Diet Soda Junkie Puts You at Greater Risk of Weight Gain: Study Does ordering a diet soda with this meal compensate for the calorie overload?

Weve all seen it. Someone bellies up to the fast food counter and orders a Whopper with cheese,

large fries and diet soda as if a zero-calorie chaser can compensate for the 1, 300 calorie overload.

Many of us justify a diet drink habit as a way to cut calories and lose weight.

high calorie beverages for low-or no-calorie artificially sweetened beverages like diet soda can potentially help you cut calories

Americans are drinking lots of diet sodas regular consumers average 27 ounces, or slightly more than 2 cans,

Substituting a soda with artificial sweeteners for a sugary beverage can help lower calorie intake,

In fact, two recent studies found that being a diet soda junkie could actually put you at a greater risk of weight gain.

or more of diet soda a day at least 21 weekly servings were at almost double the risk for becoming overweight

or obese after seven to eight years compared to people who skipped diet drinks, according to researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San antonio. And people who consumed at least one daily serving of diet soda

(versus none) were more likely to develop a high waist circumference, a condition linked with diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, according to a recent study.

The American Dietetic Association says theres no conclusive evidence that diet sodas directly cause weight gain,

director of the Optimal Weight for Life Program at Childrens Hospital in Boston, cites animal studies that suggest consuming diet drinks alone (not with food) can confuse

and legumes. oeeven if diet drinks prove to aid long-term weight loss when used to replace sugary beverages,

they may promote weight gain when consumed instead of unsweetened beverages, Ludwig wrote in a commentary last year in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Of course, its possible that if people in the studies who drank diet soda didnt do so,

they might have gained even more weight, especially if instead they turned to sugary beverages or consumed food instead of the diet soda.

So, if youre used to drinking lots of sugary beverages, replacing them with a calorie-free soda might help kickstart weight loss.

And if you eat a basically healthful diet with minimal amounts of sugary foods or artificial sweeteners, enjoying an occasional

or even daily diet soda wont likely tip the scale. As a substitute for diet soda

Ludwig suggests plain or mineral water, or coffee or tea made with up to 1 gram of sugar per ounce (or 2 teaspoons per 8 ounce cup).

For those who have health or other concerns and want to curb their diet soda habit,

Moore suggests plain sparkling water (add fresh ginger or mint to make ginger ale); sparkling flavored waters made with no additives;

and plain water spruced up with cucumber, orange, lemon or lime slices. As for me, I admit not a day goes by that

I dont have a diet soda. But because emerging research suggests possible links between diet soda and metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, kidney problems,

and preterm delivery, its prudent if youre more than an occasional diet soda consumer to curb intake.

I try to drink a cup of water before I have any diet soda and buy one can at a time instead of a 6-pack

or case o have at home or at my office. When eating out I ask for tons of ice.

Until more conclusive studies are done, Im not convinced I need to kick the habit completely.

#The Moonshine Revolution Why White Whiskey is Making a Comeback Moonshine still circa 1930s oethey call it that old mountain dew,

Yes, the distilled spirit known as moonshine, white lightning, white dog or simply white whiskey is the liquor of the moment, bringing together whiskey geeks, home distillers and high-end mixologists, all of

whom find in the formerly clandestine rotgut a new means of expression, both for their palates and their politics.

Why is moonshine making a comeback? For the same reason absinthe did a few years ago.

Because its delicious. Because its illegal. And because its cool. Moonshine, both then and now, is whiskey as it comes out of the still:

no oak barrels, no caramel color, no aging. Its just straight liquor from fermented corn or wheat mash.

None of the luxury-tinged language that surrounds its grown-up siblings, like bourbon or scotch, applies to the dog.

There are no 12 years of oemellowing, no oecomplex vanilla notes. If you get one flavor out of a white whiskey,

youre doing well. Historically, youre doing well if you dont die or go blind after drinking it;

the standards of moonshine manufacture, from George washingtons time forward, have not been especially high. The Washington reference, by the way, isnt a random one:

in his second term as President, a major rebellion based on untaxed moonshine tested the new nations mettle.

but whiskey has been a political statement throughout the history of the Republic. In rural areas, it was the one cash commodity that could be made of crops;

Although illegal in all 50 states, theres a burgeoning culture of home distillers who revel in taking a bowl of corn mush and turning it, through a Rube Goldberg contraption of their making,

Jonathan Forester, a distiller and spirits consultant in upstate New york, reckons that there are up to 200,000 home distillers brewing away in the U s.

Some of what the moonshine geeks make at home is very fine indeed, even when compared to cask-aged bourbon

and other aged brown spirits. oewe judged 65 different small-batch liquors in multiple categories,

with few getting a score of over 70 out of 100, says Forester. oeacross the board,

the artisanal moonshines were getting 80s and 90s. Because the flavor of the liquor is obstructed not by that of charred oak barrels,

tasters can get a sense of such elemental whiskeymaking processes as the quality and mix of the grains and the basic technique (ranging from murderous to masterful) of the distiller.

Commercial distilleries for their part, arent asking any questions. Its a hell of a lot cheaper to sell unaged whiskey than it is to painstakingly cask-age it for years at a time.

As a result, theres been a gold rush of brands: Kentuckys Buffalo Trace (one of the oldest and most admired distillers in the U s.)makes White Dog,

Wisconsins Deaths Door Spirits has White Whisky and even New yorks tiny Finger Lakes Distilling sells Glen Thunder,

named after the Watkins Glen racetrack. I had a flight of all three at Tipsy Parson, in New york city,

and expected them to be uniformly vile. Im no enthusiast of this sort of thing, and even the most acclaimed

and expensive grappa tends to make me cough and gag. But there was no question that the three products all tasted different

theyre neither blankly insipid, like vodka, nor gasoline-y, the way so many clear spirits are.

The critical raves white whiskey gets seem bizarre to traditionalists. How can the raw material for their beloved bourbon get higher scores than the bourbon itself?

Its like a tub of cookie dough winning the Pillsbury Bake-Off. oeim not convinced its a long-term positive trend,

oebasically, its a way of cheapening spirits by skipping the aging of whiskey. The best way to drink whiskey is unaged not like that.

Its a similar experience to what classically trained chefs are facing these days, as they watch noodle bars

and taco trucks make the pages of Food & Wine. And its the same refrain you hear from journalists who decry the way many bloggers bypass the rigorous fact-checking

and editing that they always believed was necessary. For that matter, its the same plaint made by politicians

The moonshine revolution, in other words, is utterly of a piece with the libertarian mood of the times;

Its not as if traditional American brown spirits are being neglected; bourbon, the most famous controlled-appellation U s. product in the world, accounts for nearly $1 billion in global exports,

and appreciation for the stuff is growing all the time, as bars and restaurants strive to outdo one another in the number and obscurity of their bourbon brands.

But like so much else in American culture these days, Elijah Craig, Pappy Van Winkle, George T. Stagg and their brethren have a new generation of rivals,
