Water vs. Coke


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 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. 

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?


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 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 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 gunk from your windshield.


MORE 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) commercial trucks must use Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of delivery trucks for about 20 years!

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