Post Water or Coke and Osteoporisis

Someone sent me this today. Thought it interesting.

TAKE HEED !!!!

This is really an eye opener!

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

WATER

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

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 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 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.

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: Applying 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 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. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. 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 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 glass of water or coke?

Hi, I like your post, but I have to disagree with number 6. I have been drinking more water than the 8-10 glasses per day for many years and my osteoarthritis is worse and not better. Wish number 6 was right, it sure would be nice. I do know coke has some very bad chemicals, so I enjoy the post.

Opp,

Yikes!

If that information doesn't turn coke drinkers on their heels I don't know what will!

I remember long ago a similar test was tried putting horse's teeth (a dead horse)in coke. The teeth dissolved in something like 2 days!

C. It says water helps 80% of sufferers so I guess you are in the 20%.

I don't drink enough water. I think I am doing myself harm not doing so. For many reasons. Can't drink this, can't drink that because of my Crohn's and water is so boring on its own. I have to seriously address this problem, I know I do. Anything with sugar or substitutes in it or juices or gassy no good to me.
What's left?!! I just started on green tea. Maybe I can ice that?!!

P. Loved the horse's teeth story. A nice laugh to start the day. Thanks.

Hi, your thread about water and osteoporosis is very interesting so I thought that I'd throw in a little info that I have found out about. It seems that most if not all municipal water supplies inject phosphorus into the water to prevent corrosion of the pipes. As phosphorus is detremental to bone this may be something to consider. I have'nt been able to find any studies on the subject. From my own experience: I was on fosamax and was making progress. I then switched to Actonel as I had read that it had less possibility of gastric problems. At the same time my community connected to city water. I had been taking my pills with bottled water[Culligan}. After a year on Actonel an city water
my bone density had decreased. I believe that it was caused by the phosphorus in the city water.
