Well guys, I guess we need to know what is possibly true about Coke.  I got 
this from the CookingDownHome list.   Here goes:

Anyone for a coke?

            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 amou! nt 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 drippingsto 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
            engine s of the trucks for about 20 years!

            Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?

            or Coke?
