Answer to Question 1

No; in fact, bottled water often lacks fluoride, so if tap water is fluoridated then not drinking tap water may increase risk for tooth decay in children. In addition, environmental costs associated with bottled water outweigh any nutritional benefits. The only exception is if local tap water becomes contaminated (as in case of a water main break or natural disaster).

Answer to Question 2

Sports drinks would be preferable to water during endurance training and competition, in order to help athletes prevent dehydration and provide them with some needed energy. Water is a preferable drink for everyone else. Sports drinks offer no enhanced performance for other athletes unless the athlete is participating in high-intensity competition in a hot environment. It has been suggested that sports drinks may be helpful for use in small children when consumption of water is challenging and the taste of the sports drink may improve intake.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
