Water Filters Blog

We all know that pure water is good for us.  We also realize that Coke or any other brand of soda is not ideal for the health of our body.  However, the positive traits for water and the negative traits for Coke are more extreme than you may realize.

Did you know that 75% of Americans are extremely dehydrated?  37% of Americans believe that they are hungry, when really it’s just because their thirst mechanism is so weak.  The number one trigger of daytime fatigue is lack of water.  Your metabolism can be slowed down by as great as 3%.  And this is just with MILD dehydration.  In a study of dieters at University of Washington, only ONE glass of water will shut down almost 100% of midnight hunger pains. Preliminary research states that for up to 80% of those suffering back and joint pain, 8-10 glass a day may ease the pain.  As little as a 2% drop in water may cause fuzzy short term memory, difficulty with basic math, and a struggle to focus on a computer screen or a printed page. 5 glasses of water per day decreases a risk of colon cancer by 45% and it can decrease breast cancer by 79%.  You are also 50 % less likely to develop cancer of the bladder.

Throughout the United States, highway patrols, in many states, have 2 gallons of Coca – Cola in their trunks to remove blood from the highway after automobile accidents.  In just two days a t-bone steak will disappear in a bowl of Coca-Cola.  Having problems removing stains from your toilet bowl?  Just pour a can of Coca-Cola in the bowl, let it sit for a hour, then flush!  Coca-Cola contains a citric acid that removes stains from vitreous china.  To remove rust spots from your car, just dab a crumpled up piece of aluminum foil in Coca-Cola and rub it on the chrome bumper of your car.  If you’re looking to get rid of that corrosion in your car battery terminal, just pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminal.  The corrosion will actually bubble away.  You can loosen a rusted bolt just by applying a Coca-Cola soaked cloth for several minutes.  Don’t throw away grease-stained clothes just yet!  Just pour a can of Coca-Cola in with the clothes, add detergent and run in a regular cycle.  The Coca-Cola will aid in loosening up those grease stains. 

Phosphoric acid is the active ingredient in Coke.  This acid will dissolve a nail in around four days.  Phosphoric acid robs calcium from your bones.  No wonder it’s a major contributor to osteoporosis!  The commercial trucks transporting Coca- Cola syrup have to use the Hazardous place cards since it’s a highly corrosive material.    Even the distributors of Coca –Cola themselves have been using their own product to clean their truck engines for years.

So, you said you were thirsty?  Would you like a soda or glass of pure, refreshing water?
