Something to Think About
WATER
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger
Even mild dehydration will slow down metabolism as much as 3%
One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pains for almost 100% of the dieters' studied in a U-Washington study.
Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
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.
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
In many states (USA) the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood stains from the highway after a car accident.
You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of steak and it will be gone in 2 days.
To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then finish cleaning. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from viteous china.
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.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
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.
FYI
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.
To carry Coca-cola syrup the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive Materials.
The distributors of Coca-cola have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!!
