Interesting.... sucks if you try to use Coke for washing or cleaning toilet...


Water or Coke?
.
It's hard to believe this..... 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!


Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?
 
I love water, can cannot stand to drink regular CocaCola :yuck:
At most, I drink one can of Diet Coke with Lime, but I would go with coffee, tea or water anytime over Coke.
 
I dont like drinking water either but I would take water with crystal light :-X
 
i love water but not from sink... so i drink diet coke one time a night, drink water all day.. :)

I´m surprised that none of your links mentioned that cola could lead to weak bones (osteoporosis). It also affect health as well is soduim...

Cola linked to brittle bones risk
By Jane Kirby, PA
Published: 06 October 2006

Drinking cola could lead to weaker bones, experts have said.

A US study found that drinking just four cans of regular or diet cola a week led to lower bone density in women - a condition which increases the risk of osteoporosis.

Experts from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Centre analysed questionnaires and bone mineral density measurements at the spine and three different hip sites of more than 2,500 people aged just under 60.

They found that drinking cola led to lower bone mineral density in women's hips, regardless of age, timing of menopause, total calcium and vitamin D intake, or cigarette use and alcohol intake.

However, drinking cola was not associated with lower bone mineral density in men's hips or the spine for either men or women.

Dr Katherine Tucker and colleagues reported their findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

She said: "The more cola that women drank, the lower their bone mineral density was.

"However, we did not see an association with bone mineral density loss for women who drank carbonated beverages that were not cola."

Men in the study drank an average of five colas a week.

Previous studies have suggested that cola leads to bone mineral density loss because it replaces milk (a source of calcium necessary for healthy bones) in the diet.

But this study related to women whose intake of milk was the same as for women not drinking cola.

Dr Tucker called for further studies to work out if regularly taking in phosphoric acid, found in cola, was to blame.

She said there was no concrete evidence that an occasional cola harms the bones, but added: "Women concerned about osteoporosis may want to steer away from frequent consumption of cola until further studies are conducted."

A spokeswoman for the National Osteoporosis Society said: "We know that phosphoric acid seems to play a role in bone health and that excessive amounts may lower bone density although there have not been any studies that show exactly why this is.

"What's interesting about this study is that most of the women did seem to be getting a good intake of calcium from other food sources, yet their bone density was affected by drinking as little as four cans of colas a week, which isn't much.

"This study obviously adds to our knowledge but it also makes it clear its results are not definitive and further research is needed."

A spokesman for the British Soft Drinks Association said: "The scientific evidence does not suggest that phosphate, used in the form of phosphoric acid in some carbonated drinks, has a detrimental effect on bone health.

"In any case, soft drinks provide only three per cent of total phosphorus intake from dietary sources, the two main sources being cereals and cereal products, and milk and milk products.

"Consumers can continue to enjoy drinking cola drinks as part of a balanced diet.

"Carbonated drinks can be included within the two litres of fluid everyone should aim to consume each day to stay properly hydrated."

I´m not really crazy of cola but water, milk, herbal teas and pure juices.

 
I never really liked Coke. Much prefere water. Better still is fruit Juice, camamile tea and chocolate flavored soya milk. No dairy milk for me though. The mere idea of drinking something so full of pus and antibiotics is so revolting!
 
hmmm, I love water. no calories needed. sometimes I drink soda, mostly rootbeer and sprite or equalivent to it. I wish people drink more water and it will reduce lot of health problems. animals don't complain when they drink water. they GOTTA do it while many humans complain ew water, its sad.
