WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener...Water or Coke?

We all know that water is important but,

I've never seen it written down like this before.



WATER


1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so

weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's

metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger

pains for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a

University of Washington study.

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

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses

of water a day could significantly ease back and

joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. 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.

8. 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.


And now for the properties of COKE:

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol

carries two gallons of coke in the trunk to remove

blood from the highway after a car accidents.

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 rumpled-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.

9. 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 the question is, would you like a coke or a glass

of water?

Read around that snopes site, it's full of funny stuff and covers a lot of hoaxes.

I'm drinking more water now... :blink:

Water is healthier, usually (some places, I'd avoid it) but that hardly makes Coke or other carbonated drinks harmful to you.

I look at it this way, the only guarantee I ever got as far as life goes is that I won't get out of it alive, with this in mind I don't care if it's good for me or not I still live on Coffee and Pepsi and ciggaretts. If they kill me at least I enjoyed myself! :laugh: :smoke:

Fortunately for me, I'm not a coffee drinker or a smoker so I have more lee-way in my chosen vice of snack food and soda. :D

i usually only drink water, unless i am having dinner out, and i am with my family, then ill have a root-beer, but, rarely will i have a soda during the day.

and, i plan on never touching a ciggaret, and rarely ever picking up the bottle (a beer i mean) so, i usually eat healthy, i don't diet, i excersize, and, i rarely ever get sick, more than i can say for the other teens i know.

so, naturally i am breaking what i just said, and i am drinking the soda i got for lunch! :laugh: :crazy: :lol:
