Water or Coke?

“Water sucks! It really really SUCKS!!!”

@Shady

Distilled water*

Tap water and bottled water generaly have sodium in them, which if you payed attention in science class sucks cells dry. You couldent physically drink enough water to drown yourself unless it was being forced or theres something wrong with you.

The frat kid that got killed had distilled water funneled down his throat, causing his cells to overload with water and basically explode IIRC

Your body water contains 0.9% sodium numb nuts!l

[JClark]

The sodium in bottled water is there for taste. It’s also in such small quantities that its nutritionally negligible.

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?

:ponder

thats nice but

@PJB

I havent had a soda in about 4 years but I drink gallons of water every day.

that disproves it all :rofl

Thats not what I’m saying, the sodium in most tap/bottled water somewhat counter balances the water your intaking, keeping your cells from swelling up with to much water. Distilled water has no sodium in it at all, causing your cells to fill up more than capacity.

Ever take distilled water vs tap water to plant cells under a microscope? Same concept.

[JClark]

It’s negligible. The amount of sodium in bottled water is like 2-10mg per 500ml. Diet soft drinks have 4x+ that. And these arent even sodium-rich foods. Seriously, the sodium intake from bottled water vs distilled is insignificant considering you get several thousand mg’s of it from food every day.

Potassium and vitamins is what fuels intracellular hydration. Your body wont hydrate itself properly without plenty of those two and sodium.

[ReDevil]

@JClark

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

@Mark355

Went straight to bangbros.

@Murrdog9000

You can drown yourself from the inside out, thats what happened when a fraternity forced someone to drink gallons upon gallons of water. Youre bodys cells can’t handle it.

some kids when i was in hs used to have water races. they would drink 10+ bottles of water during lunch, apparently they would get “drunk” off water. :wierd

[Wayne64SS]

i need to drink more water.

[TurboTravis]

When I lived in AZ (fucking hot lol), I’d literally go weeks w/o drinking water, relying on soda for hydration. I’d shit about once every 5 days in pain…foolish.

@usmc2801

Tell that to the drill instructors I had in boot camp lol

if youre not drinking 10 canteens a day, you obviously arent PT’ing enough!!!

[TurboTravis]

@Mk4 30R

Watching people puke at meals because they could not get down the required water was amusing. I do believe that they put saltpetre in the food/drinks, though.

yeah i heard that. wouldnt doubt it one bit.

I wasent suprised to not get wood for a week or so (stress, etc), but when it’s 5 weeks…man. lol.

@scott88LX

I’ve thought about the soda/water argument quite a bit as I am diabetic.

I’ve actually dropped ~80 lbs in the last 13 months or so on a diet of normal eating and POUNDING diet cokes/diet cherry zeros all day, fills you up and has absolutely nothing in it to add weight (at least it hasn’t to me)

I will literally have 8-10 of these a day, and it works great.

Plus now my car is 80 lbs lighter :thumbup

Yea, because drinking nothing but 10 cans of soda is good for your body. Just because the Coke zero has zero calories, doesnt mean you should down 10 cans/day. The amount of sugar in it compared to water alone is the difference maker. If you drank 10 bottles of water/day instead of that coke, diet or not, you would have lost even more weight.

What amount of sugar? Last time I checked there was ZERO sugar in Coke ZERO, hence the ZERO in the title. I’m pretty sure caffeine and aspartame aren’t sugar. But that said, thanks for the info doc, I’ll start that up right away!

If you drank 10 bottles of water/day instead of that coke, diet or not, you would have lost even more weight.

Do you have some scientific evidence to back up this claim? I’d like to see it.

[JClark]

LOL @ “I drink soda instead of eating food and now I’m super healthy. It’s the greatest diet ever.”

[scott88LX]

@JClark

LOL @ “I drink soda instead of eating food and now I’m super healthy. It’s the greatest diet ever.”

I’m not sure if that’s directed at me or not, but I actually eat quite a bit during the day, and just happen to drink a lot of diet soda as well. I never wrote that I don’t eat.

Just because something doesn’t work for some doesn’t mean it won’t work at all. I’m not suggesting everyone should go out and buy cases of Coke zero, but it works for me, and my diabetes is even in check now since I’ve done it. My A1C (sort of a measure of blood sugar over time) is lower now than when I was diganosed w/type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. My symptoms of type 2 diabetes are all but gone, and if you or anyone you know has this disease you can understand that is a big deal. Successful dieting, however it’s done, is a hell of a lot cheaper than going to CVS every 2 weeks to get bent over for prescriptions, trust me.

I will stay with doing what has worked for me, soda and all.

@99FRC

I don’t drink any soda. I actually can’t remember the last time I had soda. One of the worst things you can put in your body.

I used to drink 4 or 5 20z bottles of Mt. Dew, Pepsi, or Cola every day. 3 weeks ago, I switched to water cold turkey and haven’t looked back since. I think I’ve had maybe 50oz of Soda in the last 3 weeks. MAYBE.
