Coke
vs Water
Here are some of the benefits of drinking water and
some interesting things about coke.
Water
1. 75%
of Americans are chronically dehydrated. This most likely applies
to half the worlds 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 your 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 is the number 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 (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 Coke into the toilet bowl and let
it 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 aluminium foil dipped in Coke.
5. To
clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coke
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 Coke will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road
haze from your windshield.
8. 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.
9. To
carry Coke syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must
use the hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive
materials.
10. The
distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines
of their trucks for about 20 years!
