Water versus Coke!

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written 
down like this before.

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to 
half 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 studied in a U-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.

The Question: Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

-COKE INFORMATION-

1. 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.

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 aluminium 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: Applying 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 aluminium 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.

8. 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.

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 Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) 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  the engines of
their trucks for about 20 years!

NOW THE QUESTION IS,
WOULD YOU LIKE A GLASS OF WATER OR COKE?
