Water or Coke?

[real6]

I could not believe this..... Very interesting





WATER

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


#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.


#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism 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 drink every day?



COKE

#1. In many states 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: 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 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 the 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.
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 of osteoporosis..

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?

or Coke?



Quick! send this helpful info on to your friends
health conscious or not!!!!

[subl1minal]

Plus anything but normal coke/pepsi has Aspartame in it.

[ignoranto_bliss]

And i bet they did the tests with non fluoridated water . Good luck to get it :(

[zetetic0void]

My only comment i to not drink tons of water at once thinking it's healthy.

People have died because of water intoxication (usually in these stupid "water drinking contests" put on by radio contests or at University) which can throw off the whole body's system



Although it's unlikely someone might go and suddenly drink like 10 glasses of water after reading this post, they should know of the danger of drinking a ton of water quickly


spread out water consumption in a reasonable way.

[ignoranto_bliss]

Drink it little by little over time like boxer boys do or runners or speed heads .

[wakeup2nwo]

ive found a drink without aspartame in it.. 7up hasn't got any in it! it was driving me mad not being able to drink fizzy pop so i looked every where.. so that's all i buy now ive found that out, i felt like writing to them and saying thanks for not poisoning us..:D

:D :D and you will die in the car crash :D because of coke drinker that just brushed his teeth with Ratpoisongate :)

[ignoranto_bliss]

Last friday was the day before 4 holiday days and i went to the practice in the morning all drunk 7 dimensions more than its possible for the mammal and on the cross over some guy should have killed me for my stupidity . But he was probably the best driver in da house and did something that even Icke never mention in his books .


I have only 1 more life left .


Enjoy it my friends ... seriously .

[ignoranto_bliss]

Dont drink neither cocke ( snort it :D ) nor 7down or up .

[red_ram]

I'd still like the Coke thanks, although Pepsi Max is even better if you've got it.

[fidokrab]

And don't be drinking tap water, unless you know it's safe.

[consciousness]

Coke is such a great thirst quencher. :D

You'd have to drink an impossible amount for that to happen, there's only been 2 documented cases if I remember correctly. An average person needs around 1.5 to 2.5 litres a day, if you're engaged in any kind of sports you should be aiming for 3 to 4 litres depending on how much you train. I haven't drank coke (or any fizzy drink really) in years, still remember how good it tastes though, so it's easy to see why it'll never go away :(

[redpill41]

thanks for that real6 and thanks for a lot of the stuff you notice and start threads on as they are always the really interesting ones.

[subl1minal]

Isn't Pepsi Max the one without any added sugar? so in other words, Aspartame? Which heats up to a lethal poison once you've consumed it?

Drink it up! :)

Obviously the water is no safer since it has flouride in, but there is solutions to get rid of flouride in your system. Isn't really much you can do about Aspartame poisoning though.

Coke doesn't have Aspartame in it either, but look at those things it can do in this thread. Do you think 7up doesn't do the same? ;)

Coke is so much better ;) I use to get such a hit off of it once I drank it, big glass, lots of ice, once the first gulp is down, I breathe and it's like AAHHHH!!! Probably what smokers feel.

I don't drink it anymore though.

im sure it doesn't :D its not a drug like caffeine that's in coke.. thats the reason it fucks you up.. 7up is made from real lemons.. i suppose if you drink too much the citric acid might kill ya..lol

[consciousness]

If you want to stay up all through the night right through the next day, without feeling sleepy or tired, then drink LOTS of coke.

ive tried it. got tired around 16:00 the next day :D

[unitoxic]

I have a glass of coke once every week or so or when I go out, I do not drink tap water (although the water in England is apparently less fluoridated than the USA).

I normally drink a lot of fruit juice, orange, grape or what not, although I am sure they are not much safer then anything else someone may consume.

[devyn]

7up and Sprite both have high fructose corn syrup, most sodas do. If it's a diet soda then it will have either splenda or aspartame.

You always have to remember, unless it isn't 100% fruit juice, they mix most of it with water (like with the apple juice I'm drinking as I type this) and that water will have flouride in it.

I'm not trying to be negative, just trying to make people realize, barely anything we eat or drink is good for us as humans.

even non diet drinks have aspartame in them, whats in the flavouring in standard coke???you can class a sweetner as flavouring, every one i know drinks this stuff or similar and theyre always headachey and not feeling right,wonder why?

[christ4life]

The only water I drink is bottled if I ever drink water not a big water drinker as it is to plain for me. I can't drink fruit juice I get a very bad headache from it like I'm having a diabetic attack, but for some reason I can drink Coke just fine without problems. I don't believe Coke alone causes people to gain weight it is a combination of other factors. I haven't gained a pound from it, and have been drinking it all my life. To bad things that taste good are always listed as being unhealthy for you. I'll try to cut back but it is like smoking cigarettes don't think that will work real well my pipes must be squeaky clean by the way. Wait for a couple hours before brushing your teeth after carbonated drinks as the damage to your enamel can happen quicker if you brush them right away.

[mrindigo]

I prefer water or natural fruit juice over sodas, though I certainly couldn't do the suggested 6-8 full glasses a day. If I drink more than one or two, I either get a massive headache or urinate as if I've sprung a leak.

[stelios]

Very good topic, as soon as i realised the dangers of coke and diet coke i stopped drinking them completely and nowadays i am like a preecher telling everyone to avoid them.
Kidney stones are caused by coke/diet coke

[kayleigh]

Plus anything but normal coke/pepsi has Aspartame in it.

may i ask about aspartame? what is it?

[eustacekidd]

may i ask about aspartame? what is it?

An artificial sweetener that does very bad things to you. read the label!

[mrindigo]

An artificial sweetener that does very bad things to you. read the label!

Yes, in particular it's been linked to brain tumors.

[subl1minal]

may i ask about aspartame? what is it?

It's an artificial sweetner/flavouring put into food and drinks. It can cause serious pain/poisoning if taken in large quantities, because once you've consumed it, your body temperature heats it up and turns it into a lethal toxin/poison.

So when people drink/eat stuff with Aspartame in it all the time and suffer pains or serious discomfort, it's probably them being poisoned by the Aspartame.

Then when you think to yourself ''I wonder what that terrible pain in my side was'' was probably your Liver being damaged by it.

If you wanna live fast and die young you should even inject it and dont forget to share needles with your friends . Its very good if you wanna live fast ... mix it with heroin mix it come on .. oh come on dont be pussy ... :p

I've crossed a few sodas that didn't use high fructose corn syrup and aspartame.

Here's a company I'm fond of. :)

thankyou everyone for the info
i have to say i do (now use to as of this) drink alot of fizzy drinks i get a terrible temperature and im ill with my stomach and side for the next day...and before, never thought anything about it

nice to see some humour :P

And to be serious ( i rarely am for the reason i will mention right now ) one of the best things in my bloody life were - i did not try heroin while everybody did at that time and i stopped using tooth paste ( use soda ) ... i dont drink cockes and so its a no brainer .

But its maybe just me . But i feel fine .

[christ4life]

:D hahaha :D good one . Thats why you follow/believe the man with the beard in the sky :) . Its all good no worries . If you feel good then nothing else matters .

How did you mix Coke with God may I ask? I don't drink it to feel good I just like the taste.

[ignoranto_bliss]

How did you mix Coke with God may I ask? I don't drink it to feel good I just like the taste.

I didnt :D i think you did :) But who cares what i think ... or you ..

If we met in the bar we would probably drink beers and have a nice chat . And nothing else matters ... for me at least .

I'm not a beer drinker don't like alchohol much but I will have a wine cooler once a year.

[kingkong]

Best thing you can do is take sea water and filter it of crap. That'll be more pure than tap water.

Regardless, Coke is only damaging if excessively consumed, or if consumed along with a lifestyle of TV and work.

[red_ram]

Yeah, I used to stay off the ice because it dilutes it but now full-sugar stuff is much better with some ice in it.

[coco]

I'll be honest, I have never seen a carrier post corrosive placards while hauling coke or any soda syrup. I've had the bags in my regular OSD area (as opposed to the hazmat area). When a bag (a plastic bag within a cardboard box) burst spilling the contents on the dock or a trailer floor, it was not regarded as a haz issue by individual companies I have worked for. It is regarded as a sticky, nasty mess, though. :)

[innerlight]

balance balance balance...

some Fizzy, more water.....to each their own.

I'm a truck driver by trade, and honestly, i've never seen a Coke or Pepsi truck displaying a HazMat placard. I also know A TON of police officers, and none carry Coke bottles in their trunks for blood removal. special agencies are paid to remove the blood.

I do believe that most of the populace is dehydrated, but it isn't just from high intake of fizzy drinks...many factors, including the "pharmy" meds they pop on a regular basis.

Wouldn't we all like to buy the world a Coke, and live in harmony??

Are you kidding me, have you looked at the coke label?! 27grams of sugar per serving?!1

According to the World Health Organization, no more than 10 percent of calories should come from added sweeteners. This advice is in line with the long-standing recommendations of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) food pyramid, which called for a maximum of 12 teaspoons of sugar (48 grams) in a 2,200-calorie diet -- or roughly 9 percent of daily calories. Current USDA guidelines, revised in 2005, simply say to limit these calories.

A few glasses of coke will make you fat with all that sugar. Combine this with the fact that caffeine is a diuretic and will dehydrate you...not good. I'm not saying caffeine is bad for you cause it's not...in moderation of course. Coke is bad for you though. I grew up drinking coke/pepsi/etc but stopped drinking them all about 10 years ago. Now I don't even like the way those drinks taste. I believe Coke is an acquired taste that destroys our natural taste for water. I have been a competitive runner for as long as I can remember and eliminating soda out of my diet helped me lose a few more pounds and helps me to stay better hydrated.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

notice anything wrong with that pepsi commercial?

edit: also bear in mind that caffeine is considered a drug that is addictive. If you get physically addicted to caffeine you will have withdrawal symptoms (ie: headaches). IMO, the intention of coke/pepsi bottling companies is to get consumers addicted to the drink. That's not nice.

[kayleigh]

Are you kidding me, have you looked at the coke label?! 27grams of sugar per serving?!1

i think it depends on where you are from as different recipies are used

[christ4life]

You think that just because it has sugar it will make you fat at least that is what the media tells you. I'm living proof that this is not true for I drink many a day, and remain the same. It is all in your genetics either you gain weight from it, or you don't. If you are easily prone to gaining weight than I would suggest not drinking it as you are drinking a sugar factory. I don't plan on drinking this forever but for now I will while I can.

[christ4life]

Yes, in particular it's been linked to brain tumors.

So I wounder could this be the cause of kids who get brain cancer such as neuroblastoma? If the parents are giving their kids these sugar free items with aspartame in it daily than you can imagine what it does to their young minds considering their body is smaller than ours.

[logos880]

i think it depends on where you are from as different recipies are used

That is possible, but I don't know for sure. I'm in the U.S. and that is what our labels say. Anybody got anything differing from 27g of sugar per serving of classic caffeinated coke?

You said yourself, "you've been drinking it all your life." Stop drinking it and see what happens. I have been involved in competitive long distance running for about 15 years now. I was like you, I grew up drinking coke/pepsi products almost since birth and I was still very thin. I stopped drinking coke/pepsi after I had been involved in running for many years and I lost 3-4 pounds in a few weeks without any other lifestyle changes. That 3-4 lbs I lost was pure fat that I had on my body even with all the running I was doing. Like you I am genetically thin but genetics can be overcome by your lifestyle!

Thin does not necessarily equal healthy...not implying that you are not healthy of course. But, I'm going to encourage you to drink more water and you will see that it will improve your life because you will feel better all the time. Trust me.

I seem to remember water being used as a metaphor for someone in the Bible. ;)

[real6]

It's funny because when i was a teenager and in my early 20's all i ever did was drink soda and other shit. But the last maybe 5 years i have not drank any soda what so ever (unless i get a mixed drink when i go out dancing) but thats rare.
Now all i ever love is water. I can't get enough of it. But i only drink bottled water and no water from tap/Even britta im wary of. I also like warm water. I never try to drink cold water because i know its bad for your body.

Water, natural juice and green tea is my drug of choice

And i cant forget SAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D

[purelibra]

I stick with the mexican cokes and dublin dr.peppers,much more tasty than the crapola on the shelves prolly still not good for you though but at least you get real sugar not frankencorn.I just can't stomach plain old water don't know why but just never been a fan,thank goodness you can make stuff with it.

[tb303]

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?

or Coke?



Depends if you're adding vodka or not.

I can just imagine all the Ancients drank things like Coke, that gave them really bad digestion, diabetes, damage to their pineal gland, kidney stones and stomach ulcers.:rolleyes:

I was just checking, it's amazing how many people aren't aware on here!

And I agree, it's bollocks. Which is why we have to try and eliminate at least some of it. I think I'd rather drink bottled water with Flouride in and take activated charcoal to absorb it, than drink Coke with Aspartame and all that soda wrecking your guts.

I have an 80 foot well that produces more fresh, clean water than I could ever use.

I can honestly say I am getting healthier as I get older, and the number 1 reason is water. 2L or more a day plus an extra 1.5L while in the sauna.

I spent 2 months tree planting, drank 10+ litres a day, and drank a bottle of gin at the year end party. I got totally fucked as I rarely drink, gf had to drag me up the driveway, the next morrning, no hangover, not one bit. All from staying extremely hydrated.

[purelibra]

I want to know how any of the water drinkers stay interested long enough to drink as much water as is being stated? I mean yeah you drink when you are thirsty but damn how do you go through that much water when it has no flavor? I have an aquifer well and could have as much water as I wanted but it just dosen't move me to drink it,guess what im asking is do you just learn to love water or is there a non suicidal way of jazzing it up?

[subl1minal]

I have an 80 foot well that produces more fresh, clean water than I could ever use.

I can honestly say I am getting healthier as I get older, and the number 1 reason is water. 2L or more a day plus an extra 1.5L while in the sauna.

I spent 2 months tree planting, drank 10+ litres a day, and drank a bottle of gin at the year end party. I got totally fucked as I rarely drink, gf had to drag me up the driveway, the next morrning, no hangover, not one bit. All from staying extremely hydrated.

Man, I'm jealous!

good question Libra.....how to jazz up the H2O without taking in more poisons....nothing i've discovered thus far is real healthy...

[zmanforever]

You'd have to drink an impossible amount for that to happen, there's only been 2 documented cases if I remember correctly. An average person needs around 1.5 to 2.5 litres a day, if you're engaged in any kind of sports you should be aiming for 3 to 4 litres depending on how much you train. I haven't drank coke (or any fizzy drink really) in years, still remember how good it tastes though, so it's easy to see why it'll never go away :(

Search Google for the "Hold You Wii for a Wii Contest"

Some radio station here in the states held a contest in which the person who could keep drinking water and hold their urine the longest wins a new Nintendo Wii.

The contest was held when the Wii was still a new gaming console and were selling out like crazy.

Well some poor woman drowned to death due to the water consumption and not urinating the excess water out.

Yes a woman died trying to hold her piddle for a Wii I am not joking.


And as far as cleansing water impurities doesn't filtration systems like Brita and then boiling water work?

[windeyaho]

I grew up with Kool Aid (the kind you had to make with your own sugar). I live on property with a well and still make Kool-Aid. I will trade a little sugar consumption (making sure it is pure cane and not GMO beet sugar) with some non-fluoridated, non-chlorinated water over any bottled water or over-the-counter drink made.

I restrict my intake of Pepsi or stop drinking it altogether when the mood strikes me. It really does make you thirstier. I like my coffee or tea in the morning depending on if it's cold weather or hot. Then I like having a cold pitcher of water in the fridge to help the thirst. Best thing for real thirst, at least for me, has always been a cold glass of whole milk.

Real food, real water, real nutrients always win out for me. This phony, fake food that is being sold and touted as "better" for you doesn't get my interest.

Aspartame gives me a stomach ache and tastes funny. Splenda has stuff in it that changes chemical composition if you nuke it in the microwave.

I'm sure that I'm not able to avoid a lot of junk but small incomes do have their disadvantages. . .however, I don't go hungry and I am conscious of what I am ingesting. One can only do the best that they can do.

One of the top 5 posts in here straight from the heart and to the point.

I recommend everyone watch the movie FOOD INC. excellent documentary of America's fast evolving food market which is full of artificial not natural zombie-food.

Reason I recommend it is that is shows all the garbage we are being given to eat, just because it costs less to make and sell.
One part which really scarred me is when they show Chicken farmers of America who are being bought out by major corporations like TYSON and are forced to grow mutated chickens who grow larger breasts which cause the animal unable to walk and various other negative things, and when time came for the film crew to enter the premises the Lawyers from TYSON made sure no camera or person can get a glimpse of the horrible disgusting conditions we are forcing these animals to live in which in directly results to E. Coli in our meats.

Also focuses on how hard it is for a low fixed income family to properly eat.
They show a 4 member family mom, dad, and 2 daughters.

Now follow me here they can go to BURGER KING and buy 4 Rodeo Burgers 4 Drinks and 2 small fries all from the $1 Dollar Menu equaling around $11.50 with tax.

Now this same family goes to a super market and cannot afford many items, that scene what just so terrible to watch the mom is crying the kids are sad and the poor diabetic father just feels like crap, but it really puts things into perspective.

Just shows they created a system in which the poor eat poorly and the rich eat properly.

[moving finger]

It's ain interesting post, but I do wonder how many actual real life genuine facts are there, seeing as none of the claims made in it are referenced & it reads like a circular email.

Medically speaking, we do need a couple of litres (give or take, depending on the person) of water a day. That water does not have to be H2O - it also includes moisture found in your food.

Water from the highest mountain stream will also contain chemicals - salts & organic acides leached from the surrounding rock and vegetation, maybe even a little sheep piss too, so don't assume that it's 'pure'. Water with these minerals in can be a useful source of the minerals we need in our diet.

Brown water need not mean it is harmful. Water from peat based catchments will often have a brown colouration from the organic humic and fulvic acids in peat soils - it's perfectly natural and harmless. People do complain about it tho, so water companies spend a lot of money on treatment to remove it. If all goes well, the treatment is harmless, if it doesn't then you can have Camelford incident on your hands. If you have rust coming out of your tap, you need to check your pipes - it's probably nothing to do with the water company.

Water from aquifers need not be absolutely pure. Groundwater is recharged by water by from the surface, which may have all kinds of chemicals in it from industry & agriculture. Long term groundwater storage (and interaction with the rocks they it is stored in) may help ameliorate the doses, but not necessarily eliminte toxins completely. As water can move laterally through aquiferous strata, you could me many many miles away from a big city & still have toxins from it in your supply.

Everything in moderation.

[citizen no245187]

ive found a drink without aspartame in it.. 7up hasn't got any in it! it was driving me mad not being able to drink fizzy pop so i looked every where.. so that's all i buy now ive found that out, i felt like writing to them and saying thanks for not poisoning us..:D

Isn't it only the Diet drinks that have aspartame in them (or as its soon to be called "natural sweetener"). Iv got a nasty coke habit my self so was thinking of switching to something flat or maybe Pepsi Raw (http://pepsiraw.co.uk/) as it uses sugar cane not corn syrup, should make you less fat if its Sucrose and hopefully no mercury it. Also it comes in glass bottles so no more leaching chemicals.

[kukulkola]

I stopped drinking soda back in 2001!


The stuff is nasty! Burns your throat, gives you acid indigestion. Complete abomination

[stelios]

Asda and Tesco own label stuff now doesnt contain aspartame.
They use sucralose instead which i believe is much safer.

[subl1minal]

Why is everyone worrying about the weight gain factor of soda drinks? it's all the other things I'd worry about!!

Sorry ladies but unfortunately it's another Israeli angle.

http://www.dailyjews.com/articles/646_coke_is_it.htm

Over the past few years, health food trends have been taking the world by storm, but only in Israel will the world's most popular soft drink be manufactured without preservatives or artificial food coloring.

Coca-Cola Israel will be the first to produce a healthier version of the drink, while at the same time maintaining its taste, shelf-life, and of course, kashrut.

Being the first to successfully implement the advanced technological procedure, Muzi Werthiem, Cola-Cola Israel's owner received the permission and blessing of Muhtar Kent, president of the Coca-Cola Company, who congratulated him on the great achievement.

The move came following market surveys which clearly showed the Israeli consumer's preference of products without preservatives and artificial colorings.

The new formula, which will include both regular and diet Coke, will be on the market as of next week. The bottles and cans containing the new drink will be labeled artificial coloring and preservative-free.

But for all that the drink was only meant to be drank in small doses. Not big cans...

Dont drink coke or pepsi
both contain cancer causing ingredients and phosphoric acid which leaches calcium from your teeth and bones and deposits it into your kidneys to form kidney stones.

filtered or bottled water and pressed fruit juice and if you fancy fizzy drinks tesco or asda own label drinks are ok

[pegcityevolve]

So why do these soda companies, Jones included, need phosphoric acid in their drinks?

I was almost giddy about Jones and it's sugar cane for my mom, until I seen it contains this same damn acid.

In the UK supermarkets are very proactive.
I have seen that Aspartame has been replaced with Sucralose which is certainly much better.
Phosphoric acid what gives that kick that only coke has is replaced by citric acid in Tesco and Asda own label stuff.
Wont taste as good but it wont give u cancer or kidney stones like Coke & Pepsi will.

Pesticides are probably from water drawn from agricultural areas in India causing problems for farmers and shortages.

I traced ALL my health issues to the fact that I didn't grow up drinking just water, drank lot's of juice and milk. I used to get headaches(99.9% of which is dirrectly related to dehyration), heatburn, sunburn, ect..

Since I have started drinkin g lots of water I have only had a couple of headaches(in the last 6-7 years) all of which went away within minutes of drinking a tall glass of water(or 2).

Addiction to sugars and salts is one reason society doesn't drink much water, and we never learn about it's true importance in school.

COKE

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1 the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
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 of osteoporosis..
For the first one to be valid, wouldn't Coke have to be a base?

Your Body's Many Cries for Water, by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj. He really broke down the way the digestive system works and tells you exactly when to drink the water. Surprise! It's not good to drink fluids while eating. I knew that for years, and ended up dehydrated quite a lot throughout the day, because I'd forget to drink from the (then) water bottle. Now, I just drink 8-16 ounces at one time about 1/2 hour before a meal. I can agree from personal experience, that hunger flash in the midmorning is defo a need for water. It's a lot easier to just tank down a whole glass than keep sipping off a bottle, for me anyway. Also...Many years ago, a really great physician intern told me to drink a big glass of warm water immediately upon arising from bed. At first it's not great but like any habit you get used to it and now I'd really miss it if I didn't have it daily. Keeps everything regular :D So if you drink a big glass in the morning, then one before lunch and dinner, and eat lots of fruits and veggies, you stay pretty well hydrated. As for Coke, I do like one, once a week when out.

P.S. No fluoride in some places in U.S., especially Hawaii.

It's not even thirst quenching, that's what i dont get, on a really hot day the only thing to refresh you if your thirsty is water, not some carbonated mass produced drink, i noticed this when i was a kid, after playing in the park, i'd drink a can of coke which would quench my thirst for all of a minute then i'd have to go and pour a glass of water to quench my thirst again.

Home made lemonade does quench thirst, but if you aint made any n there's none in the fridge, you have to wait hours for it to cool.:(

http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0803/corn-byproduct-fuels-cancer-cell-growth-study-finds/
By Reuters Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 -- 10:40 pm
Corn byproduct fructose literally fuels cancer cell growth, study finds.

Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S.
researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom
that all sugars are the same.

They said their finding, published in the journal Cancer Research, may
help explain other studies that have linked fructose intake with
pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancer types.

"These findings show that cancer cells can readily metabolize fructose
to increase proliferation," Dr. Anthony Heaney of UCLA's Jonsson Cancer
Center and colleagues wrote.
Americans take in large amounts of fructose, mainly in high fructose
corn syrup, a mix of fructose and glucose that is used in soft drinks,
bread and a range of other foods.

Politicians, regulators, health experts and the industry have debated
whether high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients have been helping
make Americans fatter and less healthy.

Too much sugar of any kind not only adds pounds, but is also a key
culprit in diabetes, heart disease and stroke, according to the American
Heart Association.

Several states, including New York and California, have weighed a tax on
sweetened soft drinks to defray the cost of treating obesity-related
diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

The American Beverage Association, whose members include Coca-Cola and
Kraft Foods have strongly, and successfully, opposed efforts to tax
soda. [more at link.]

High-Fructose Corn Syrup Produces Toxic Chemical

http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87548&highlight=High+Fructose+Syrup

If you know anything about the food supply, you know that honey bees are a crucial part of the food production chain. In the United States, they pollinate roughly one-third of all the crops we eat, and without them, we’d be facing a disastrous collapse in viable food production.

That’s why, when honey bees started to disappear a few years ago, scientists scrambled to find the root cause of the phenomenon, which has since been dubbed “Colony Collapse Disorder.”

The name is a bit of a misnomer, though. It’s not really a “disorder.” It’s more of a poisoning. Or at least that’s what we may be learning from new research that’s just been published in the ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (http://pubs.acs.org/stoken/presspac…).

[bendelapidate]

I can't believe how many people are justifying their consumption of this illuminati sugar or sweetener laden poison. It comes mostly in plastic bottles (cancer causing), it contains phosphoric acid which is used by dentists to etch teeth and the regular version is laced with refined sugar, the sort that gives you diabetes and fucks up your liver.

If that wasn't bad enough, the "diet" variants contain the pernicious satan spawn of Donald Rumsfeld, Aspartame or "AminoSweet". Don't you just love the way they disguise *really* bad shit by giving them fluffy names. I mean, you may as well call thimerosal "SmartJuice" or "HealthSilver". It's fucking poison.

On DI headlines page, article said coke contains mercury.
.

[vetis]

ive found a drink without aspartame in it.. 7up hasn't got any in it! it was driving me mad not being able to drink fizzy pop so i looked every where.. so that's all i buy now ive found that out, i felt like writing to them and saying thanks for not poisoning us..:D

7up doesnt because it has crap loads of sugar. same with Dr pepper, non diet pepsi/cola. almost everything with low sugar has artificial sweeteners in.

[passing]

Seeing the thread title just now reminded me of that moment (late 1980's?) where Coke defended their product's nutritional value in court by saying it was mostly water. :D

[ownoiz]

^ lol, same could be said for car battery electrolyte. :D
.

[bloodredsky]

I can't stand this. I know all about what is bad and what is good, yet I still drink diet soda and tap water on more than a regular basis. AHHHHHHHHHH!

[dude111]

Plus anything but normal coke/pepsi has Aspartame in it.Ah man i cant believe how much stuff has this crap in it!!!!

Its hard to find stuff WITHOUT IT :(

[ben87]

I could not believe this..... Very interesting





WATER

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


#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.


#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism 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 drink every day?



COKE

#1. In many states 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: 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 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 the 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.
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 of osteoporosis..

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?

or Coke?



Quick! send this helpful info on to your friends
health conscious or not!!!!

100% true, i work in the transport industry and my mate was saying it is transported in these metal keg type things, and they have all these dangerous goods markings, hazardous material markings.

Sparkling mineral water, no sugar, no aspartame, just minerals, water, and carbonation. You can get your calcium from this too. Put a slice of lime or lemon in it, and it beats any illuminate crap any day.

I don't really drink a lot of water because I get a lot of it through raw foods, and juiced vegetables.

I used to eat like total crap but when I got sick, I really looked into this stuff.

[oneup]

I have always been drinking lots of water. Nothing tastes better IMO. Whenever I drink something else it's not for the taste.
I've done some research on fluoridation in my area, and it seems the dutch government has outlawed fluoridation since 1976, although a small quantity is naturally present in our groundwater. The legal limit is 1.1 mg/L.

That's what the water company told me in my area.

One fizzy drink which used to quench my thirst after school was Mountain Dew, they don't sell it in the Uk anymore, any US citizens know if this has had aspartame added if it's still on sale over there?
