Coke or Water?
Water
75% of Americans are
chronically dehydrated
In 37% of Americans,
the thirst mechanism
is so weak that it is
often mistaken for
hunger
MILD dehydration
will slow down ones
metabolism as
much as 3%
One glass of water will
shut down midnight
hunger pangs for almost
100% of the dieters in
a University of
Washington study.
Lack of water is the
#1 trigger of daytime
fatigue.
Drinking 5 glasses of
water daily decreases
the risk of colon
cancer by 45% and
breast cancer
by 79 %.
Coke
In many states
(in the US) the highway
patrol carries 2
gallons of Coke in the
trunk to remove blood
from the highway after
a car accident.
You can put a T-bone
steak in a bowl of
coke and it will be
gone in 2 days.
To a clean 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 the coke
removes the stains.
To remove rust spots
from chrome car
bumpers, rub the bumper
with a crumpled-up
piece of Reynolds Wrap
aluminum foil dipped in
Coca Cola.
To clean corrosion
from car batteries,
pour a can of
Coca Cola over the
terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted
bolt, apply a cloth
soaked in Coca Cola
to the rusted bolt
for several minutes.
• The active ingredient in Coke
is phosphoric acid.
• It’s 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 of osteoporosis.
To carry Coca Cola syrup
(the concentrate) the
commercial truck must
use the “hazardous”
material place cards
reserved for highly
corrosive materials.
And finally,
The distributors of Coke
have been using it to
clean the engines of
their trucks for about
20 years!
