interesting facts for your little brains.
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
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 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 fuzz 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.
And now for the properties of COKE:
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 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: 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 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.
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.
9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
For Your Info:
1. The active ingredient in Coke (and Diet 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-ColaCoca-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 coke or a glass of water?

You guys should watch Myth Busters on the discovery channel. They disproved almost all of those facts about Coke. It's basically only good for drinking, all the rest are urban myths.

I stopped drinking soft drinks about 4 years ago. I think as a ballpark figure I have had no more than 3 dozen 12 oz. servings of syrup-type soft drinks (excluding Sprite/7-UP) in that time.
Partly from telling myself in college, "there's just something wrong with going through a 2 liter bottle a day w/coffee"
and from drinking a Dr. Pepper while snowboarding, at the restaraunt in Breckenridge at 12,000 ft.
Something with the altitude and the carbonation didn't mix well and just kind of put me off of it.You can lose 17 lbs by not drinking soft drinks from what I've heard.

And I drink as much water as they prescribe. Sometimes get a nasty headache, but it's not that bad, water.

gabriels' right, these myths were debunked a looong time ago.

dont be so quick to believe 'de-bunkers' in the same way you have to filter what you read on random websites. check the sources of those trying to 'educate' you.
- mrdobolina0
this is why I only drink whiskey.

it is some interesting stuff. of course i cant vouch for all of it, but i can say that coke is used for cleaning engines, grills, blood, grease etc.
myth busters is a cool lil show. those guys are a bit. . . something. . .
watched them eat poppy seed bagels/cake and tested positive for opium. thought that was very interesting shit.
so if you have a job interview, dont eat poppy seeds before your drug test. (or if you've been smokin opium, you might have a good excuse for failing.)
now then, i am off to douse myself with beer.

I hate when 'people' use single quotes 'needlessly' in 'their' sentences to put 'emphasis' on what they're 'saying.'
