WATER

that it is 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

COKE
#1. n 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.

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.

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. (okay, one redeeming coca-cola benefit besides the
taste)
#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.
