Just a thought
My cousin sent me this-- thought u might enjoy it
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, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, which ever carbonated drink you choose~
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 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.
1 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, etc....or
a glass of water?
good points abou****er, the points about coke are silly. the ph is less than orange juice and much less than coffee. what's bad about coke? the SUGAR!!!!! the caffeine. and the bubbles make some people uncomfortable. But the acid? we eat/drink products with far more acid. Heck i MARINATE my t-bone steaks in marinade with far greater acid and the only time they've ever disappeared is when the dog got them. 
i'm a big believer in consuming lots of water though. if for no other reason than it tastes great and is good for us.
