Could water offer enough enjoyment for you to swap it for your favorite nightcap of Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir? As unlikely as it may seem, that is precisely what once wine connoisseur Michael Mascha decided to do. In an EpochTV episode of Vital Signs, host Brendon Fallon interviews Mascha on the health benefits of water and what made him make the switch. 
Michael Mascha is the author of “Fine Waters,” described as an encyclopedia of water by the London Times. He has a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Communication Science from the University of Vienna and says he had an extensive collection of wine at one time, with 500 bottles in his cellar.
Brendon Fallon is a former reporter and photographer with The Epoch Times. He is the host and executive producer of NTD's "Vital Signs," a health show that zooms in on the important matters of health that come up in everyday life—connecting the dots across the broad canvas of our holistic wellbeing.
