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  
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  
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?

+1. When I’m at work I usually have a soda with lunch, but at home when I’m thirsty I’ll have a glass of water or iced tea.

Simply pounding glasses of water doesnt equal hydration. Google “intracellular and extracellular hydration” if you want to do it right.
