    Water or Coke?
    .
    I could not believe this..... Very interesting


    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 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 compute r 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 drink 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 Reynolds
    Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.


    #5. To clean corrosion from car battery t erminals: 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 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 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 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 o steoporosis.

    #2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
    commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
    cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

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



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

                Ditto on diet vs. regular. It still has the acid in it. My dental hygienist told me of a teenager who had come to her office with very poor teeth - her mother let her drink only Diet Coke all day long...it's not just the sugar in soda that's bad for you.

                    To think I used to drink a 6-pack of Coke a day. Criminy!

                    Now it's 100+ ounces of water . . . much better!

                      Not that I'm defending Coke or saying that drinking water is not great, but are there any citations for all this?

                        I used to work for Coke, so I feel compelled to defend it...

                        All those things happen b/c of the combination of acid and carbonation in Coke -- and in all sodas. I mean, club soda takes out stains, too... even blood. And, it's not true about the Coke people using Coke on their truck engines. They wouldn't defame their own product that way, I promise.

                        Regardless, your point is well taken. Water = good; soft drinks = bad. As the Coke people often respond to information like this, their product is meant to be enjoyed as an addition to a well-balanced diet.
