I got this bulletin from a lifter.

Water or Coke? Very interesting.

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 mistaken for hunger.


#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism 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 drink every day?

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 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 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 the 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.


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 of osteoporosis.


#2.

To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3.

The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Wow, Coke is really bad for you. Guess I gotta stick with Pepsi then! ....lol ya right, Coke > Pepsi anyday.

Actually I was trying point out that you really need Coke to help clean out your system after eating that hamburger and fries.

MYTH.

There is not enough phosphoric acid in a regular Coke to dissolve a steak -- even if submerged and left in a sealed container for a couple weeks. Only thing you'll get is a nice marinated steak.

A tooth left in Coke will not dissolve -- only the coloration will change to a dingy yellow (caused by the added coloring). However, the durability of said tooth will be compromised. The enamel will deteriorate allowing for cavities and tooth decay to process readily. A tooth still attached to the skull would never be placed under these circumstances if you brush regularly.

Lastly, the cleaning capacity of coke is marginally better than plain water.

No, your stomach acids are designed to counter the mild acidity of a Coke's phosphoric acid. It's no more harmful to your insides than the citric acid in orange juice.

Metal left in Coke will cause a chemical reaction and thus "dissolve" some metals. If you drip Coca Cola over the center of a tin/alluminum can, after a day you'll only see the plastic internal lining of the can -- the coat that protects it from disolving the can internally. Pretty neat stuff.
