Water or Coke??

WATER -

#1.   75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population) - That statistic amazes me!!

#2.     In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.  - I’ve heard this before!!  It’s so true.

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

- 3% can be 1 or 2 points in body fat.

#4.   One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.  - Yes, yes, this works for me!

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

- It seems water is the miracle we are all seeking!

#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.  - I will have to work my way up to 8 – 10 a day . . .

#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. - Wow – it affects EVERYTHING!

– This solidifies that having a bottle of water during a test may be a great idea.

#8.   Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%.

- This in itself should be a motivator!!

Plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%.

COKE

#1.    In many states the highway patrol carries
two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.

- If it’s that strong, imagine what it’s doing to the vessels in our bodies.

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

- Remember the grade school experiment of dropping a tooth in Coke?

#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. YUCK!!

#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.  DOUBLE YUCK!

#5.    To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion. - I can’t believe this stuff was ever approved as edible!!

#6.   To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the rusted bolt for several minutes.  - I feel the need to try this myself.

#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 ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. This just makes me nauseous.

#8…   To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into the 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.

- If you still have Coke in your fridge, don’t throw it away – it has many (shocking) uses!!

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

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

#2.   To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3.    The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean truck engines for 20 years!

I hope you’re as convinced as I am!!
