Water vs Coke

[bowbow]

TweetWATER

#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 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 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 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 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 osteoporosis.

#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?

or Coke?

TweetI got this from IA's board, I found it interesting and disturbing.

[littlebritain]

TweetI saw this posted elsewhere and the poster said that it was a hoax.

he posted it to illustrate how false info and myths can easily propogate through the internet.

i know that coke at some point was used as a cleaning agent at some point.

[diggi]

Tweetno offense but that statement is totall bull**** if you ask me.. i know people that have been drinking large amounts of different kinds of soda.. and they seem to be perfectly fine..without any health problems..

And I actually had a chance to ride in an ambulance going to this motorcycle accident..and didn't see any coca cola bottles or nothing inside..

I tried the t-bone steak thing for a research .. and that was another BS.

TweetNo offense at all, I was curious on the types of responses It would get here. Just what I expected so far.

TweetI find it all very believable. I know that Coke can dissolve a penny if you leave the penny in the glass. If coke is that corrosive to material objects, what is it doing to your body?

As for water to much water can kill you, but adequate amounts of water has been proven to be beneficial in so many ways.

I know personally of a few people that did not change their eating habits, but stopped drinking soda, and they lost on average 12-20lbs in a matter of two months. Keep in mind they still kept up their crappy eating habits.

Soda robs your body, and I'm willing to bet that it is one of the main culprits in all of the widespread diseases and sicknesses that americans are plagued with. Every wonder why with such a technologically advanced society, we're one of the sickest AND most obese?!

Yes, I seen that episode. They debunked every coke myth, except for the tarnish on the penny. Other than that, it was all poo poo
