For those of you who know how much of a water junkie i am, check this out...


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 = 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 a 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 (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke
in the truck 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 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.


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 glass of water or Coke?
