I'm copping this from a friend's blog. I found it so interesting. What do you all think? True or false? (the info about Coke)
Water Vs. Coke
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is 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 fuzzy 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. Are you drinking the amount of water
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries
two gallons of Coke in the trunk 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
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: Apply 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 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 the 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.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1 the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a Hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
or Coke?

I wish I had a can of coke to go clean my toilet with, it needs it bad.
Since I didn't give my opinion on my blog, I will say it here: I think that the Coke part is an exageration of kernels of the truth. I was never a soda drinker (and never drank sodas with caffiene) because growing up, my parents rarely bought it because the carbonation hurt my dad's stomach. And my dad is mega-healthy to this day, as are me and all my brothers. Did a lack of soda's contribute? I think so, but also the fact that we mostly ate fresh vegtables from our garden, and raised our own chickens for eggs and meat, and had goat's milk to drink, and organic beef that we raised, well, I think that had something to do with it, too!
oh, and I think it's cool you swiped this from my blog...I can't complain, because I copied it directly from an email that someone sent me! :~D
I supposed Dr. Pepper isn't much better. I'm just glad I'm one who likes water. I'm a big water drinker but I have friends who don't care for it and it makes it even harder.
So, I was going through some recipes the other day and came across "Sassy Water"
2 lit. of water
1 tsp ginger root (grated)
Med. cucumber (peeled & sliced)
Med. Lemon, sliced
12 mint leaves
Chill over night.
It's calm and soothes the GI tract and is part of the "Flat Belly Diet" initial detox.
Mom and I tried it and REALLY liked it. Be sure to grate the ginger super fine or seive it out later.
wow that is why I will continue to just drink water
what if I drink 8 glasses of water AND a huge diet coke everyday. Then is it OK?? :)
I'll give you this-I will definitely think about your post next time I grab a diet coke. But....I'll probably just be irritated at you for making me realize how dumb my decisions are!
I've read the parts about Coke before. Really interesting...i wonder if it is true! Makes you want to drink water huh! :)
