what you think about pepsi,cola etc.are they good for health?

Answer 1

I got this in an email showing all the health "benefits" of colas. Read and enjoy!

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.

#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?

Answer 2

No. There is nothing in there what could be good for health. All sodas are mixes of water plus stuff from a chemistry lab so they taste ok and are cheap and easy to produce. And marketing makes them look as if they are "cool".

In best case they are not bad for your health - but that depens on the amount you drink.

Answer 3

I have read in health notices from my insurance company that drinking soft drinks on a regular daily basis, even one or two 12 oz. cans will make you put on weight. Have you noticed that a lot of overweight people seem to always have a soft drink cup within easy reach all day long? Which came first, the weight or the soda? Even the so-called diet stuff works the same. It also rots your teeth.

Answer 4

What is nowadays with all the crap they put in stuff. But I think positive thinking could go a long way in life in regards to health so if you think its good for you maybe it will be :)

Answer 5

**WARNING** Pesticide%in several cool drinks. Thumsup: 15.2, coke: 13.4, 7up; 12.5 , Mirinda:10.7, Pepsi : 10.9, Fanta:9.1. If the range exceeds 2.1 then its very dangerous to human lever. Results in cancer. Be aware. so dont drink any brand from coke & pepsi.

Answer 10

If they are sugar free they beat drinking some sugar water kind of "fruit drink" or some saltwater kind of "energy drink". They do no harm and replace something worse.
