About water:
1.
75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2.
In 37 percent 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 percent of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5.
Lack of water is the Number 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 percent of sufferers.
7.
A mere 2 percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on a computer screen or on a printed page.
8.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45 percent, it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and one is 50 percent less likely to develop bladder cancer.
And now for the properties of Coke:
1.
In many states in the USA, highway patrol cars carry 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 it 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 aluminum foil that has been dipped in Coke.
5.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coke over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coke to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke 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 it through a regular cycle. The Coke will help loosen grease stains.
9.
Coke will clean road haze from your windshield.
For your information:
1.
The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid, which has a pH of 2.8. Phosphoric acid will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. It also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2.
To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate), a commercial trucker must use the hazardous material cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3.
For about 20 years, the distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks.
Now the question is, would you rather have a Coke or a glass of water?

Well regardless of whether I'll continue to drink or not, I'll definitely be using Coke for some OTHER things now! XD
I'm actually a big water fan! Some people say it has no flavor, I wholeheartedly disagree... it tastes like liquid sky. o.O

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are false.
1, 2, 3 are false too.

Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water over sparkling? Experts say, skip it all. None of these products are likely to make you any healthier. Below, we look at five major myths about the benefits of drinking water.
But first, [COLOR="Purple"]how do you know if you're drinking enough water? Experts say there's an easy way to judge. If you're not thirsty, you're fluid intake is likely "just right."
[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Myth No. 1: Drink Eight Glasses Each Day
[/COLOR]
Scientists say there's no clear health benefit to chugging or even sipping water all day. So where does the standard advice of drinking eight glasses each day come from? "Nobody really knows," says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania.
[COLOR="Purple"]Myth No. 2: Drinking Lots of Water Helps Clear Out Toxins
[/COLOR]
The kidneys filter toxins from our bloodstreams. Then the toxins clear through the urine. The question is, does drinking extra water each day improve the function of the kidneys?
"No," says Goldfarb. "In fact, drinking large amounts of water surprisingly tends to reduce the kidney's ability to function as a filter. It's a subtle decline, but definite."
[COLOR="Purple"]Myth No. 3: Lots of Water Equals Healthier Skin
[/COLOR]
The body is already 60 percent water. So, if you take a 200-pound man, he's 120 pounds of water.
Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has limited effect. "It's such a tiny part of what's in the body," says Goldfarb. "It's very unlikely that one's getting any benefit." His full editorial is published in the current issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
One study published in 2007 on the cosmetic benefit of drinking water suggests that 500 ml of water increases capillary blood flow in the skin. "But it's unclear whether these changes are clinically significant," says Goldfarb.
Myth No. 4: Drinking Extra Water Leads to Weight Loss
A more accurate statement may be: Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters.
"Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories," says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh. "So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get the sense of satisfaction."
But water is not magical, she adds. Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too.
Myth No. 5: It's Easy to Get Dehydrated During a Workout
Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight. So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water.
Marathon runners, bikers and hikers all need to recognize the signs of dehydration. "It is also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have increased need for water," says Goldfarb.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that athletes drink 16 ounces of fluids a couple of hours before starting sports practice.
But for a stroll in the park, no water bottle is necessary. Goldfarb's advice: Just drink when you're thirsty.

I'm a Coke-a-holic so I did my research on Coke. Most of the 'claims' that it's acidity level is too high have been filed by PepsiCo since the 1920s.
