Water vs. Coke
Water
-
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
-
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 will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
-
Lack of water, 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.
-
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.
Coke
-
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.
-
You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will
be gone in two days.
-

toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The
citric acid cleans out the stains. Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in
Coca-Cola.

of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
-
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying 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. |
