About this item

Picture the water you consumed most recently. Are you seeing a glass of water, a water bottle, or maybe a water fountain? Those are all important sources, but water is actually in everything we eat, too. It s one of the most important components of food, and yet we rarely think about water until there s a problem. This book will talk about the ways your body uses water, the ways it reaches you, and the ways things can go wrong if your water is contaminated. The media is full of advice about what foods to eat and what to avoid. Unfortunately, the advice is constantly changing and often contradictory. Know Your Food explains the real story about what s on your plate. Each title in this series includes color photos throughout, and back matter including: an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources.
