WATER OR COKE? This is really an eye opener....
We all know that water is important but I've ever seen it written down like this before.
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 U-Washington study.
5. Lack of water,the no1 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 (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 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 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 the 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 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?

 

Does anybody actually believe all the urban myths they get sent???

 

If it's on SN it must be true.

 

All sounds quite feasible to me

 

Coke. I need the caffeine..

 

Some loose truthes in the water statements but as for the Coke 'facts' i've never heard so much guff

 

the only coke I ever had was measured in grams not gallons...

 

It is true there is phosphoric acid in coke, and that is evil stuff. I was on a container ship carrying a 20ft tanker box full of the stuff. The tank sprang a leak and it started eating it's way through the ship! But as I said that was phosphoric acid not coke concentrate

Coke will dissolve a kids milk tooth in a day or so.
Coke will clean copper coins.

 

So will HP Sauce

 

Wish I could drink 5 glasses of water a day.

 

Also, not drinking enough water is the major cause of kidney stones. I should know and it's the nearest men get to childbirth so the doctors say.

Drink 2 litres a day!

:-)

But that is the acetic acid doing the work not the phosphoric

 

so will copper coin cleaner and same elbow grease.

Lazy feckless gobshytes!

 

I had kidney stones once. I would not wish that on my worst enemy.

 

I heard the rolling stones once - same result as above

 

The acid in coke isn't anywhere near as strong as the acid the occurs naturally in the stomach.
