Water VS. Coca-Cola (a backup to Ninja X's post)

[frorider6]

Nathan - I dated a girl who drank about 8-12 cokes a day. And she was a runner at that!

 

[Nathan]

Fuck me! Is she still alive do you know? I try to drink extra water for every can I drink so I guess my biggest concern is my teeth eventually falling apart (I had soem cavities in weird places and my dentist said there was nothing I could have done to prevent it but I'm not so sure). Did she notice any adverse health effects like that?

I gave up sodas about 5 years ago. I rarely have a sprite now. Sodas are just crap.

Man, I'm down to 1-2 cans a day. That stuff makes me hold more water than a small pond; it's loaded with sodium.

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population)
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
Lack of water, is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
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.
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 every day?

COKE
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.
You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
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.
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.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
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 sumptuous brown gravy.
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. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:
The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its 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 in osteoporosis.
To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is do you want a coke to drink or water?

You hate everything don't you BBV? Beer drinkers, pot smokers, non-bodybuilders, and now (gulp) coca-cola drinkers.......

...next you'll be turning your attention to those that dare eat a Burger King........

Gary... once again, jumping to conclusions will make you look nothing but stupid.

I drink Coke myself.

I posted because I saw this information, and it made me think twice. So now... when I want a drink of Coke, I'll have a glass of water instead.

It'll be rough, because I absolutely love the stuff.

Don't take everything as a personal insult.

You must be very insecure.

Didnt this shit just come up a week ago and it was all just a myth? Oh yes, here it is :

I hear they use Coke to make atomic weapons and e-coli strains. Bad shit.. Bwhahahaha!

Makes you realize that the Internet is not the epitome of truth as you thought huh? If you believe everything you read on the 'net, I got some excellent beach front swamp land to sell ya in Florida. PM me if interested.

I like the occasional Coke, although I prefer Pepsi Max. I think it's called Pepsi One in the US.

 

[Big Brother Val]

Freshr1.... that takes a load off, damnit.

I've never seen any proof of any of this... but I live a short distance from the coca-cola plant, and want to take a look to see if their trucks have the hazardous material signs on 'em.

I'll post what I find.

It seems a little odd, I admit.

Big Brother Val - that "you must be very insecure" bit was classic. LMAO.
