View Full Version : Water or Coke?
Water or Coke
This! is really an eye opener.... Water or Coke?
We all know that water is important but I've never seen
it written down like this before.
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
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
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 fuzz
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.
And now for the properties of 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 cl! ean. 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: 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.
9. 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 coke or a glass
of water?

Guys also wait a half hour after drinking coke to brush your teeth, the acid softens your enamel, and if you brush them it makes it go away....I read this in the news...Not just madeup stuff

I got tired of pop awhile back. Never did like Coke mostly 7-up, in the big glass bottles. Anyone remember those? Or sprite or Pepsi. Still drink it occasionally.
Did you know when they first started making Coke it had Cocain in it?:eek2:

drink plenty of clean water to flush out your kidneys, and other organs, take your vitamins and stay in shape, i like to have beer also; as far as the coke goes, all i'll say is that its common knowledge that sugary soft drinks arent that good 4 ya, it will dehydrate and weaken bones:eek2:
Yeah I stopped drinking soda a couple months ago and try to drink a gallon of water a day. I dropped about 25 pounds. I drink water even if I am not tristy.
I have also known of truckers that use it to clean tires like amorall. I have relatives in mexico that drink coke with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think mexico is the number one consumer of coke.

At work all i do is drink water. I only allow myself one pop a day if even that. I think people are fat because of pop.. look how many calories are in it.. like a 12 ounce of mt dew is 180..:eek: That running a mile to burn it all off...

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble here!!!!...................we heard about this a few years back...on a bogus website of course............believed it at first......till we tried it!!!!
1) t-bone steak will dissolve do the bone only in 3 days....FALSE.....the steak turned black and stank real bad
2) nail will disolve in coke in 4 days-----FALSE.....tried all types of nails ,hot and cold treated, untreated..etc.........the nails were the exact same when we pulled them out a week later.
3) coke uses thier product to clean their own tuck engines....FALSE......coca-cola enterprises uses castrol products.
we studied, studied, contacted coke, pepsi...etc.......the acid IS in coke.......however, it is such a small amount, that it could never do harm to even your eyeball if left in for years.
just though i'd let everyone know...and no, i am not a coke spokesperson........i was gonna be the ginuea pig for the meat dissolve test....i was bet that i couldn't leave my hand in a bag of coke for a week cause i would have only bone left.......guess what....i am typing with both hands now.
