I take it all back.....

I received a great email from a friend and it appears I may be wrong about coke after all. Read some statistics on water and Coke and see for yourselves.

Water or Coke?

Water: 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

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 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.

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 Coke into the bowl and let

it sit for one hour. The citric acid removes stains.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers, rub

the bumper with a rumpled up piece of foil dipped in Coke.

5. To clean corrosion from car batter 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

bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: empty a can of coke into the pan.

8. To remove grease from clothes, empty a can of coke into the

regular cycle, add detergent and the coke will loosened the stains.

So you see, I guess I am wrong. It turns out that Coke is a good thing.....for

cleaning up that is. So, if you must have Coke, use it on your toilet bowl only!

Some more information for you:

1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve

a nail in four day. 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 card reserved for

highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines

of the trucks for about 2o years!

Now, the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

(For you Dr. Pepper drinkers, you are not off the hook. Put it down and get a glass of agua.)
