Coke Versus Water

Found this online somewhere......dont know its accuracy, however I can vouch for #5 (Coke) plus I once used Coke to take oil spots out of concrete (well, it reduced the stain at least - maybe I didn't use enough Coke?)


Which ones have you guys done?



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 often 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, a U-Washington study showed.
  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 suffers.
  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 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.
  9. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day? As a rule of thumb - drink half your weight in ounces of water a day. If you workout 3+ times a week and live in a humid climate add another 24+ ounces to that number. Additionally, caffeine and alcohol dehydrate the body; drink twice the water as you did coffee or alcohol to replace water loss.
COKE...
  1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk of their cruisers to remove blood from the highway after an accident.
  2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone within 3 days.
  3. To clean a toilet bowl; pour a can of Coke 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 Coke.
  5. The corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coke over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
  6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coke to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
  7. To remove grease from cloths: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy cloths, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION...
  1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in Osteoporosis.
  2. To carry Coke syrup the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
  3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean their truck engines for about 20 years!
Now the question: would you like a glass of Water or a glass of Coke?

Great timing on the post. I was thinking I didn't drink enough water today. I'll be sure to get enough tomorrow!

I haven't had a soda of any kind since January... the mere sound of a soda can top popping is enough to make me gag. I would love to forward this to other teachers at my school, but they wouldn't listen. Maybe I should have my kids do some science experiements to prove the point?

Let me know how the kid's experiment with Coke goes...........wow, that sounded bad, but interesting!

I have had only 2 carbonated drinks in the last 11 years, both of which were overseas when water was not the best option! It's kind of frightening when you are drinking a bottle of Iraqi water that was bottled fresh and unfiltered from the Tigris!

totally agree. coke is the worst thing for you. have not had a soda of any kind for over a year and stopped steadily drinking it 1.5 years ago. low pH can predispose you to cancer. i recommend checking your body's pH with a pH strip. i check mine every couple of days. it should be about 7.

I don't like Coke much, but I'll take a bottle of Dublin Dr Pepper. :D
