Next time you are thirsty - pause for a second

Food for thought...
Water or coke?
We all know that water is important but I have never seen it written down like this before.

Water
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half of the world's population.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak 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 No: 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back & 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 maths, 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 likey 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 2 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 2 days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of coca-cola into the toilet bowl and let the coke sit for 1 hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome 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 loosten a rusty 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 baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminium 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 coke will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. This is very interesting. Try it for yourself.

For your Information
1. The active ingredient in coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will disolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from the bones and is a major contributor to the increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry coke syrup (the concentrate)the 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?
