Water Vs Coke

[njjen3953]

This was forwarded to me by Lee Clifford, MS, CCN, one of the Academy's
professors. Water and Coke. . . interesting!! We all know that water is
important but I've never seen it described like this before.

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 often
mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water shuts 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
So Help me. I'lll never drink it again:
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
crumpled-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 remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load ofgreasy
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.

FYI:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8. It
will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
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!
Still Want To Drink Up????????

Very interesting indeed! I actually read the anti-coke thing at a pro-anorexia site (no need to worry, I'm anything but anorexic. Trust me 😀)

Thanks very much for posting that though. I should definately drink more water. I made the switch from Coke to Fresca recently. I figured I didn't need all the extra calories.

Nutritionally yours,

I switched from water to coke. I figured the coke would kill all germs, tape worms, parasites, tumors, and anything else it came in contact with. Heck if it can clean car engines it'll probably keep my stomach and intestines all sparkly clean too. 😀

Seriously though I actually switched from coke to cream soda. Cream soda has a much smoother taste. Although I still have an occassional coke just to keep the tape worms and other parasites in check.

I knew this was a joke when I posted it.

Why is it whenever something tastes good it's bad for you? I love Coca Cola Pepsi's to sweet for me

Did you know at one time Coca Cola had a very small amount of COCAINE in it? I think that it was finally removed sometime in the 50's Anyhow that's the way I heard it

I tried that meat-in-the-coke trick for my elder daughter when she was about 10 and crazy about coke. She became a vegetarian as a result... 🙄

 

[Scooby112211]

haha...for curbing kiddies toward vegetarianism, I suggest making them slaughter a cow with a butter knife. 😀

I think beer is actually suppose to be good for you and extend your life if you limit yourself to one or two bottles a day with a meal. Maybe we should give up the water thing and go for beer?

 

[Strelnikov]

Every cigarette you smoke shortens your life by 7 minutes. I should have been dead 15 years ago.

OTOH, as kurchatovium said, drinking beer is good for you. Drinking 1 or 2 a day adds 7 years to your life. I'm caught up on my beer drinking through Year 2010. Good thing, too - it offsets the cigarettes. Hell, I CAN'T quit drinking, it's the only thing keeping me alive!

Scientists also think that a glass of red wine with dinner helps a lot too. However, I would advise against mixing your beer with wine.
