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 pangs 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
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: Apply 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 scrumptous 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?
