Earth Day 2014 is Tuesday, April 22 and once again people around the world will be bringing renewed attention to the well-being of the environment and their own personal health. At Syfo, we believe promoting a healthy environment and health in people go hand in hand. We’ve taken steps to ensure that Syfo products are as GREEN as possible in every way, so they’re both healthy for the planet as well as healthy beverages for your body. We do everything we can to reduce waste in the supply stream by making every part of the Syfo packaging and bottling fully recyclable. The water we use in Syfo is purified through reverse osmosis and we return the waste water from the process back into the environment in a more purified state. Since the water we use to produce Syfo comes from a centrally located aquifer, it doesn’t require a heavy carbon footprint to make it to the production facility and the consumer.
We also consolidate our less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments to improve transportation efficiency, and we collaborate with our suppliers to save money, reduce waste and conserve energy. And of course the packaging and bottles that we use for all of our Syfo products are 100% recyclable.
As is well-known, Syfo Beverages Original Seltzer and Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters are made from purified water and are free of preservatives, chemical additives, sugar, sodium or artificial sweeteners. That makes them healthy beverages for your body and the environment.

New research indicates that a virus commonly found in drinking water may be a cause of rheumatoid arthritis. The good news is that drinking purified water products like Syfo may help to provide some relief to people suffering from the disease by limiting exposure to the virus.
Researchers hypothesize that these larger water-based, naturally occurring viruses — known as mimiviruses — trigger auto-immune reaction to collagens, which can result in joint inflammation. This research supports the long-held belief by many that viruses in the environment may be responsible for a host of auto-immune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis.
The outer shell of the viruses mimics animal collagen and the virus’ presence has been shown to trigger an immune response to collagen in the body. Collagen comprises the proteins that make up the various connective tissues in both humans and animals. In studies with mice, the presence of the virus in the mouse caused antibodies to attack the mouse’s collagen, leading to joint inflammation. Essentially, the presence and reaction to the virus resulted in arthritic symptoms in the mouse.
Along with physical activity, weight management, proper nutrition and rest that are recommended as self-care options to minimize discomfort caused by arthritic flare-ups, some experts are saying that drinking purified water is another step that rheumatoid arthritis sufferers can take. Syfo Beverages’ entire product is made with 100% purified water through a multi-step process that includes reverse osmosis and UV sterilization.

A major new study has found that children who were overweight in kindergarten were much more likely to be obese by eighth grade. And almost every child who was very obese remained that way. The study tracked the body weight of more than 7,000 children and its results surprised many experts.
Although some obese or overweight kindergartners lost their excess weight, a child’s chance to avoid obesity diminished each year that passed. By age 11, children who were obese or overweight stayed that way. To combat the nation’s obesity epidemic, experts suggest that efforts must start much earlier and focus more on the children at greatest risk.
Replacing soda and soft drinks in whole or in part with Syfo Beverages is a perfect and delicious way to get your kids off to a healthy start. Syfo Original Seltzer and Syfo Tangerine-Orange, Lemon-Lime and Wild Cherry Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters are calorie-free and contain no sugar, sodium, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or caffeine. Plus they taste great. Serving your children Syfo will steer them away from sugary soda — a major factor in childhood weight gain.
