DID YOU KNOW? 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. A glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a Univ. Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research shows 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: 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 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? Think first.

I've written many columns and stories about the importance of water, but I see new pieces of info on your list, Griz. Great post. No doubt Coke and most carbonated sodas are loaded with toxic junk. I gave them up years ago, and don't miss 'em one bit. One of the interesting things I read about water is that very often hunger is mistaken for thirst - and then people eat and don't drink the water. Also, they say that if you are thirsty it is a notable sign of dehydration. I do my best to drink as much water as I can, but I am definately sure I don't drink enough most days.

Yesterday I was out in the sun all day planting flowers . As a result I drank a gallon of water during the course of the day, plus a half gallon of sweetened green tea, and at the end of the day a half pint of Crown Royal to ensure my ability to get to bed . Overdid it just a tad. It stinks to be a young man in an old man's body Griz

Ahhh, appreciate that body of yours Griz and consider how much work you got done during the day. See what a marvel it is? Wisdom and experience backing a good productive body. Having said that...lol.. I will add that I had a little Remy Martin cognac last week. It had been a long time since I had some and I only had one cocktail. Boy oh boy, did it taste good and boy oh boy did I relax and feel good. So I had just a little more.... The next day I woke up wondering whose body I was in...LOL. Jeesh, I was 'movin' slow' for an hour or so. Had coffee, fruit and lots of water and felt alright again luckily. I think the key to it all is moderation... I'll keep testing the theory...LOL.
