WATER or COKE , WHAT IS BEST?
Water or Coke?
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.
Note......I drove for coca-cola syrup division out of Columbus, Ohio 4 years
and this is true.....T
#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!!!! Water or Coke? I could not believe this..... Very interesting WATER ... more -
WHEN TORTURE BIGHTS BACK
What questions would you ask Bush's torture team?
Dear ACLU Supporter,
Thanks to you, we took a major step forward yesterday in our efforts to hold the Bush torture team accountable. We’ve been vocal in our demands urging Congress to act -- and we’re finally getting results.
John Yoo, author of the infamous Bush “torture memo,” and former Attorney General John Ashcroft both agreed to testify at an upcoming hearing. And in a bold “we mean business” move, at a packed, standing-room only hearing, a House Judiciary subcommittee gave Judiciary Chairman John Conyers the power to issue a subpoena to David Addington, Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff.
Now, just hours ago, Judiciary Chairman John Conyers used that authority and issued Mr. Addington a subpoena, compelling him to testify on June 26, at 10am.
These events are important steps to get at the truth, but tough questions must be asked of Bush administration officials. Let Congress know which questions you want answered when the Bush torture team finally appears.
Send your questions about the U.S. government and torture to Judiciary Committee members.
Investigations into high-ranking administration involvement in waterboarding and other forms of torture should have happened years ago.
But now, in the face of revelations that the highest officials in the Bush White House reviewed and approved specific CIA torture techniques for specific detainees, there is no way that Congress can avoid acting.
Our task now is to make sure this critical hearing featuring top-ranking members of the Bush torture team takes place. And we have to make sure that the toughest, most essential questions are asked and answered.
Help get at the truth about torture. Submit your questions now.
Torture is un-American and it’s a federal crime. No matter how long it takes, we’re going to get to the bottom of who authorized it, condoned it, and let it happen in our name.
Sincerely,
Caroline Fredrickson, ACLU

Britain: Hep C Rings Twice
Hepatitis C is a two-timer. Unlike HIV, the virus that causes hepatitis C can be cleared from the body through treatment. But it can return.
That’s what happened to six HIV-positive men in Britain late last year. They were found to be reinfected with new strains of hep C after successfully clearing a first infection. What’s more, all six contracted the new cases through sex.
If you’ve gone through hep C treatment, you already know: Once is more than enough. May 2008 Britain: Hep C Rings Twice ... more -

Prom Night Prep
by Nicole Joseph
Bring a rubber to the kegger?
Prom season’s here, and high schoolers are piling into overpriced limos, outrageous dresses and boozy after-parties. One topic that rarely makes the gymnasium floor: safe sex. “High schoolers spend hours talking about who they are taking to the prom,” says Jill Michelson of Marie Stopes International Australia, a reproductive health org. “Unfortunately, an open chat about safe sex isn’t on the agenda.” Her group is leading a global charge to make condoms an integral part of prom night. Michelson recently led a text message campaign, TXT 4 Free Condomz, calling them the “must-have school formal accessory.” Some say the campaign encourages teen sex. Says Michelson: “Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.” May 2008 Prom Night Prep by Nicole Joseph Bring a rubber to the kegger? ... more -
WHAT DO YOU THINK ???
Once again the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has been caught using taxpayer money to influence politics. I urge you to amend federal law to prohibit the Drug Czar and his deputies from using taxpayer money to lobby or campaign. A recent investigation by the Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform found that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) used taxpayer money to boost support for Republican candidates in 2006. U.S. Drug Czar John Walters and his deputies traveled to almost twenty events with vulnerable Republican members of Congress in the months prior to the election. The taxpayer-financed trips were orchestrated by President Bush's political advisors and often combined with the announcement of federal grants or actions that benefited the districts of the Republican members. A November 20, 2006, memo from Sara Taylor, the former White House Director of Political Affairs, summarizes the travel Drug Czar John Walters took at her request. An agency e-mail sent the following day describes how Karl Rove commended his agency (and three cabinet departments Commerce, Transportation, and Agriculture) for "going above and beyond the call of duty" in making "surrogate appearances" at locations the e-mail described as "the god awful places we sent them." That e-mail, as well as e-mails that followed, show that ONDCP officials were proud of the commendation they received from Mr. Rove and the political travel they took using taxpayer dollars. According to ONDCP's liaison to the White House, Douglas Simon, "Our hard work...in preparing the Director and Deputies for their trips and events" allowed them to travel "thousands of miles to attend numerous events all across the country." The Drug Czar and his staff also routinely use taxpayer money to campaign against proposed state laws they personally don't like. During the 2002 election, for instance, ONDCP's campaigning on a Nevada ballot initiative was so intense that the state's Attorney General complained in a letter to the Nevada Secretary of State that, "it is unfortunate that a representative of the federal government substantially intervened in a matter that was clearly a State of Nevada issue. The excessive federal intervention that was exhibited in this instance is particularly disturbing because it sought to influence the outcome of a Nevada election." More recently, ONDCP officials traveled to New Mexico four times in 12 months at taxpayer expense to lobby state legislators to oppose a proposed medical marijuana bill. They conducted similar lobbying trips to other states. In 2006 Congress included a provision in the ONDCP Reauthorization Act that prohibits ONDCP from using the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign to support or oppose legislation, regulations, ballot measures or candidates. I urge you to expand this ban to prohibit ONDCP officials from using any taxpayer money to lobby or campaign.
Sincerely,

PAT ROGERS, WHO NEW?
The failure of the war on drugs is that we policy makers fail to see that police cannot be all things to all people. And that, in our democratic society, police alone cannot embody and represent the entirety of our rule of law. The rule of law is more than just enforcement. The rule of law is a trust between the people, policy makers and police that given a reasonable regulatory regime most citizens will choose to live within the regime leaving police free to better protect us all from the limited population of predators who try to thrive on marginal illegal market demand. The failure of the war on drugs is that we policy makers fail to see that police cannot be all things to all people. And that, in our ... more

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
