Water or Pepsi !

Which one is the 'Real Thing' ??? We all know that water is important but you've never seen it written down like this before. WATER 1) 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.) 2) In 37% 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% 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 every day? PEPSI 1) In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Pepsi or 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 Pepsi and it will be gone in two days. 3) To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Pepsi into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Pepsi 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 Pepsi. 5) To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Pepsi over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6) To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola or Pepsi to the rusted bolt for several minutes. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: 1) The active ingredient in Pepsi is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. 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 in osteoporosis. 2) To carry Pepsi (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials. 3) The distributors of Pepsi have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is would YOU like a glass of water or Pepsi?
