Said Justin Grego, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety Director the research to back that belief,” said Justin Grego, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety director. Dr. Heinz Valtin of Dartmouth Medical School conducted a literature review to find the research behind the recommendation for eight ounces of water eight times per day. He never found it although he thinks he knows where the idea originated. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council has recommended “one milliliter of water for each calorie of food.” One ounce of water is about 30 milliliters. If a person consumed around 2,000 calories per day, their need would be about 67 ounces of water per day based on this recommen- dation. That’s pretty close to the 64-ounce recommendation made in eight glasses of water eight times per day. he Food and Nutrition Board has set Adequate Intakes (AI) for total water alton Downing of Grove FFA topped the Livestock Judging Contest sponsored by Tintake.

Downing was congratulated by OFB President Mike Spradling and YF&R For men ages 19 to 30, the AI is 3.7 liters Chair Natalie Leads. which is the equivalent of about 15 cups. For women of the same age the AI is 2.7 liters or 11 cups. This turns out to be more than the eight cups we have always thought was the correct amount. “Keep in mind that AIs are figured based on actual average intake of men and women who may have been drinking more than they actually need. Your need may be more or less. Another important thing to remember is this includes fluid from all sources including food,” said Grego. If you always thought that the water in coffee, tea and soda didn’t count toward total fluid intake, you can rest assured that it does. The food we eat supplies about 20 percent of the fluid in a day. “The bottom line is that most people get enough water in the food and beverages they consume throughout the day.

In July and September we mailed a candidate questionnaire to each candidate running for office in the upcoming state and federal primary election, regardless of affiliation with any party or organization. The answers provided do not denote any affiliation or endorsement by Trust Women, nor does a candidate’s choice to participate in our questionnaire signify affiliation or endorsement. The endorsements we have included along with our questionnaire responses are those given by the anti-choice organization Free the States and the pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood. Yes and No answers and any additional comments about the questions we asked candidates are included in this document. The voting record on issues of reproductive rights of each candidate already serving in public office is listed in this document as well. The voter guide is arranged according to elected office and in order numerically by district.
