It's ironic that I got the following email today

I am a big Diet Coke person...about 4 day, has to be icey cold in the can..but after reading this I am going to cut way down!!!

WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener...Water or Coke?
We all know that water is important but,
I've never seen it writtem down like this before.


WATER

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
Universityof 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.

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 is phosphoric acid.
Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4days.
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 coke or a glass
of water?

Have A Great Day and Share It With Others



Do you still want a coke?

Vanilla Pepsi, diet or regular will do.

As for yesterday's poll, which I missed: my fav. homemade cookies are Snickerdoodles, my fav. store bought cookies are peanut butter Oreo's.

Don't drink soda, don't like soda.

I wish I was as healthy in the rest of my life as with my favorite drinks: (1)Favorite = water
(2) 2nd choice: all natural fruit juices with no additives, including orange juice and Juicy Juice (3) natural herbal teas, full strength, no milk or sugar or anything added

I don't drink soda much anymore, but when I do get a hankering for one, or when I need some caffeine, I reach for a Dr. pepper.

Both of these Coke Myths have been disproved by the guys on Mythbusters, the show that comes on Discovery channel. They left a Steak in the coke for 48 hours and all that happened was the steak was saturated with coke but was still there.

They also washed white coveralls covered in grease with Coke and it didn't help to remove the stains.

Coke does make a good chrome shine and does help to clean battery terminals. Not sure about the others.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and
it will be gone in two days. Myth busted.

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. Myth busted.

First, I am not supposed to drink my favorite drink anymore, per my dd.

But I do.

It's DIET LIME COKE (I actually don't like Coke Classic or Pepsi--I find them too sweet.)

I am drinking lots of water, as I should, but I will sneak a Diet Lime Coke every so often. Makes me happy, demmit!



About one of the items Pamy posted (the toilet bowl one):

We have 2 bathrooms in this rental house we're in for now. The toilet in one bathroom (the one I use) works fine and is always clean--and easy to clean. The other (the one my dh uses) was stained badly when we moved in--and never flushed properly. I used everything I could think of to clean it when we first moved in. Then I gave up til I read about the Coke thing myself a few weeks ago. I tried it and guess what?! The toilet bowl is almost all clean (I'll have to try one more can) AND the toilet is now flushing properly!! Weird, huh?


Even knowing it's bad for me, can't help it. Love the zing of my Diet Lime Coke.(You'd think it would clean out our innards really well, wouldn't you?)
