Coke or Water fun facts inside - GoFuckYourself.com

WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener! We all know that
water is important but
I've never seen it written down like this before.

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 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.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should
every day?

COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) 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 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: Apply 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
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 four 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?

I like that show, and most of those Coke things are bullshit. But the water part was interesting if true.

smack · 03-10-2005, 05:39 PM

all soda is noxious. too much sugar and acid. i have friends that drink nothing but soda and almost all of them have stomach ulcers.

when i'm not drinking beer, i drink water almost exscusvily.

DaddyHalbucks · 03-10-2005, 05:40 PM

Phosphoric
acid also leaches
calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the
rising increase in
osteoporosis.
+++++++++++

This is a fact, for sure. We studied this is college. Phosphoric acid blocks the absorbtion of calcium.

its all about moderation, if you drink a coke with every meal or 3 a day to stay up its not going cause that much harm. If your drinking a 12 pack every night to stay up you might want to consider crack

spideriux · 03-11-2005, 01:24 PM
