Awww... Sore throat again...

Failed to drink enough water last Sat and although I tried to make up for the lack of water, my throat's just played hard to please... Oh well... :( Anyways. I really find it funny how I was planning to post something about the "evils" of drinking too much softdrinks (got it from a magazine article yesterday) then found this in my email today! Here it is... your choice... Water or softdrinks, anyone?

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?

C***

#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of C*** 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 C*** and it will be gone in two days.

#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of C*** into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in C*** removesstains 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 C***.

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

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in C*** to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of C*** 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 C*** for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of C*** into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and runthrough a regular cycle. The C*** will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1 the active ingredient in C*** 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 C*** syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of C*** 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 C***?
