Damaging Effects of Carbonated/Soda and Sugar Laden Drinks on Human Health

WATER OR SODA?

Eye Opening Information!

This information is really an eye opener.... Water or Soda? We all should know that water is important. Our government recommends we drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water daily. This is excellent advice however its not enough to simply drink water. it's equally important to drink the right kind of water. Some Americans drink a gallon or more of soda a day. This habit will have enormous negative effects on health. 

The following information makes a very profound comparison between water and popular soft drinks on the market today. Is it possible that this habit of drinking soda instead of proper amounts of good healthy water is contributing to America rapidly becoming the most obese and least healthy country in the world?

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 can slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 

4. One glass of water 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.

And now for the properties of Soda:

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Soda
 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 Soda
 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 phosphoric acid in Soda
 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 Soda
 for sumptuous brown gravy. 

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Soda
 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.                                                            

Additional Info:

1. The active ingredient in Soda
 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. 

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 Soda
 have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
