WATER

#2. In 37% of Americans the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow your metabolism about 3 percent.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters, according to a University of Washington study.
#5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research shows that 8-10 glasses of water a day may ease back and joint pain for 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in water can trigger a fuzzy short term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water a day can decrease the risk of colon cacer 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 everyday?
COKE
(diet or otherwise)
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highways.
#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 bowl and let sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from china.
#4. To remove rust spots from a chrome car bumper: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum 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 Coke to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke into the pan, wrap the ham in foil, and bake. 30 mins before the ham is finished, remove the foil allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a fantastic brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into the load, add detergent, and run through a rinse cycle. The Coke will help loosen grease stains.
FYI
The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. 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 of osteoporosis.
To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous material sign reserved for highly corrosive material.
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or Coke??
