WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half world pop.)

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 shuts down midnight hunger
pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
U-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
every
day?

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) 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.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of
coke
into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, And

commercial truck must use the hazardous material
