| The purpose behind my coke-free diet. (I found this pretty interesting...) #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? |

tuwang | 05-17-06 12:39am well... first of all, you can't say that the citric acid is bad because the citric acid of lemonaide is worse so you should stop drinking that too... also, the reason coke takes off corrosion is because of a chemical reaction, not because of the coke itself. Although coke isn't the best thing for you it's not liek you're going to die immediately if you drink it. Plus if we were all so "chronically" dehydrated we'd be dead... but that's just a thought. |
tuwang | 05-17-06 12:40am also note that one must consume Immense ammounts of coke to get enough phosphoric acid to cause osteoperosis... I would imagine most of it gets washed out of our system before it can do too much harm. |
shannonw55 | 05-17-06 6:41am Thanks for the education. :) |
tuwang | Re:, 05-17-06 7:56pm I don't know... the whole coke killnig you thing never really made sense to me. |
Tails | 05-18-06 11:55pm i agree with it being hard to beilive that coke kills you...but yeah i did know that the highway patrol use coke to get blood off the roads...but like kevo said its just a reaction. not the coke itself. seriously if it was that fucking bad for you im pretty sure they would pull it off the market...but then again rubbing alcohol is still sold to children freely. |
