Water vs. Coke vs. Pepsi

Re: Water vs. Coke vs. Pepsi

Ran across this from a Coral Calcium distributor. Hard to say know how much

of it is true, but it is amusing.

Did you know?

Here are a few facts that you might find interesting:

Water vs. Coke

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Most likely applies to half

the world population)

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%,

it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79% and one is 50% less likely to

develop bladder cancer.

It takes 32 8-oz. glasses (2 gallons) of water for the body to eliminate the

acid produced by drinking a single can of cola.

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often

mistaken for hunger.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the

dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could

significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

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.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

The Pepsi Generation is OLD before its time.

In a study involving 460 ninth and tenth grade girls, a Harvard University

researcher investigated the effects of soft drinks on teenage girls. The

girls who drank soda were three times more likely than those who did not

drink sodas to report having broken a bone. Those who had colas regularly

appear to have more problems. The risk increased to five times for

physically active girls who had cola soft drinks regularly. The researcher

suspects that the problem stems from the phosphoric acid in cola beverages -

known to interfere with the body's use of calcium. (Arch Pediatr Adolesc

COKE (No wonder Coke tastes so good!)

In many states in the USA, the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in

the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two

days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet and.let the

'real thing " sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke

removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a

crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over

the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted

bolt for several minutes.

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.

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. It will also clean road haze from your

windshield.

FYI:

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its PH is 2.8. It will

dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the

Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their

trucks for about 20 years!

Question: So, would you like a glass of water or Coke or Pepsi?
