Water or Coke?

April 28, 2008 By Nathalie Himmelrich 5 Comments

I’ve recently received an email from a friend and I found this information might be interesting for a few of us…

WATER

  • #1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.)
  • #2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
  • #3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism by 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 decrease 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 drink every day?

Do you want to know about Coke now? Are you sure? Read on…

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.
  • #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 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. Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean the road haze from your windshield.

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 hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
  • #3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

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

    Coke and all other sodas, no thank you. But, I will take water anytime—it’s the best!

    Hi Jonathan and Rosalia,
    Thanks for your comments. I agree, especially after reading this it becomes quite ‘clear’ to drink water 🙂

    No wonder they always serve McDonalds meals with a coke, have you ever tried that food with water, the coke dissolves the fat and washes it down.

    Hi Alison,
    That’s a good point – haven’t thought about that and it makes complete sense 🙂
