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. (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 University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water is 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. 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), commercial trucks
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.


4. 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.

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

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

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

10. 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.

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?
