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.
 (Likely applies to half world population)

 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 pangs for almost 100% of the dieters
 studied in a U-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.

 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 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. 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 glass of water
 or coke?
