Ooh La La Their Secret Is Out

GREENWICH, CT--(Marketwire - September 24, 2008) - For decades, Americans have been obsessed with the lives of French women. Is it the wine? Is it the cigarettes? Ahh, perhaps it's in the water?

Some call it the "French Paradox," the completely unfair way Parisian women linger over multi-course, decadent dinners, drink wine daily and indulge in dessert, yet still look great in their expensive lingerie.

So what's the secret? One secret may be that French women use mineral water such as Contrex® Natural Mineral Water to replenish their bodies with much needed nutrients. In fact, Contrex is one of the most popular brands of bottled water in France, and has been used by French women for over half a century as a way to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

And now there's refreshing news for American women watching their waistlines. They no longer have to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to drink up the Contrex secret, as it is now available in the United States.

An added benefit for Americans is that one liter of Contrex contains a high content of minerals, including almost half of your daily calcium needs with no calories or fat.* According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, more than 50 percent of women do not get the daily recommended dose of calcium.

Drinking water also helps to eliminate metabolic waste and flush out toxins produced in high quantities during exercise. Another unique difference is that the high mineral content in Contrex is not artificially added in, rather it is naturally occurring in the organic soil surrounding the water source.

Contrex comes from a water source in the Vosges region of France. This region of France is home to the largest natural forest in the country and the mineral water sourced from this area has been a vital resource of wellness for Europeans since 1755. In fact, the French drink more than 132 million gallons of Contrex every year. Learn more about Contrex Natural Mineral Water at http://www.contrex-usa.com.

Save our Soil, Save our Minerals

Did you know that polluted soil around a mineral water source can lower the amount of minerals found naturally in the water?

The Agrivair project was started in 1992, to encourage farmers working in and around one of the most pristine mineral water sources in France to adopt organic and sustainable farming practices that do not require the use of pesticides or chemicals in the soil.

Through the Agrivair project, farmers received financial support to convert their conventional practices into sustainable ones, free education on bio-agriculture (farming without the use of pesticides and chemicals), access to natural fertilizers and free services such as composting.

Today the Agrivair project protects more than 22,000 acres in north-eastern France so that Contrex Natural Mineral Water has its own unique combination and level of minerals. Here are some of Agrivair's methods for "green farming":

-- Use natural fertilizers and composting, not pesticides or chemicals.

-- Build rainwater systems for use during droughts.

-- Keep a balanced diet for the livestock.

-- Ensure buildings meet strict environmental standards.
