Water or Coke

Water

1. We all know that water is important but I’ve never seen it written down like this before.

2. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population)

3. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.&

4. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.

5. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U- Washington study.

6. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

7. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

8. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

9. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil
dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of
Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, Remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

    Now I dont like coke myself, but MythBusters and possibly on Snopes.com you can find out that half that stuff about coke isnt true. It doesnt help a rusted bolt, it doesnt clean off a car battery, and it wont clean a chrome bumper.

    The facts about water however, I think are all true.

    The info on water is true, though some is inflated. All the info on Coke is false. I am all for increasing water consumption to better health. For example, increasing water intake can help people with chronic bronchitis (like me) and other respiratory problems by thinning the mucus.

    but scare tactics that are blatant lies don’t do any good. That only turns people off.

    You all are worried about the wrong chemicals.

    I live in Atlanta and the Coca-Cola company, a business partner, has probably has funded much of what I have earned. Classic Coke is okay but the sugar will kill you over time . . . what will hurt many people sooner is the Nutrasweet in Diet Coke . . . look into it and realize that the FDA was stacked to create its approval (denied multiple times earlier), trials in which many monkey died were declared invalid since their handler mysteriously died; Don Rumsfeld (yes) had a brief corporate career just long enough to CEO the company during the time it was brought to market; brain cancers spiked incredibly a couple of years after the introduction of Diet Coke, one of the first huge consumer contracts.

    Notice that enough people know that our vaunted Coke company has had to introduce an alternative diet coke with another less toxic sweetener.

    And, yah, I don’t know whats with snopes.com on things like this — all facts above are admitted and undeniable. snopes used to be reliable.

    And the WATER . . . don’t get me started. Just remember it is delivered by your government, hopefully locally, yours is good.

    Where are your references? I agree coke is probably bad for you and people eat too many dehydrated foods and don’t drink enough water but these facts are just pulled out of yours or somebody else’s poohole.

    I think perhaps these claims are a bit inflated. I agree that soda is bad for you but not because it may or may not do the things listed above. I mean, vinegar does some pretty awesome stuff as far as being a cleaning agent, and so does lemon juice and baking soda. In fact, I like using them a lot more than I like using store bought chemicals, but I still use them in cooking. Flour and water make a great paste, cornstarch and water make a strange non-Newtonian fluid, peanut butter and/or vegetable oil literally dissolves gum and other adhesives, and I’ve even used vinegar to kill some small weeds. Simply because the chemical properties of your food can do other things doesn’t mean anything. Focusing on the high amount of sugar and the addictive properties of caffeine might be a more realistic route.

    Actually the mention of coke cleaning a car battery is true. Someone I know had problems with their battery in their car being corroded and my dad poured coke on it so he could jump the car and the coke removed most, if not all, of the corrosion.
