Most of us are aware of the value of drinking lots of water and avoiding
caffeine for LE.

Here's more data on the subject (I haven't tried the ham recipe--I'm a
kosher vegetarian):

 SOME OF THIS IS HARD TO SWALLOW, BUT IT IS TRUE

 Water vs. Coke

 We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down
like this before.

 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
 (Likely applies to half world pop.)

 In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often
mistaken for hunger.

 Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

 One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the
dieters studied in a
U-Washington study.

 Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research
indicates that 8-10
glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up
to 80% of sufferers.

 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 rinted page.

 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?

 COKE

 No wonder coke tastes soooo good:

 1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of
Coke in the truck 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
crumpled-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: Applying 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 the 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 a 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.

 FYI:
 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoricacid. Its Ph is 2.8  It will
dissolve a nail in
about 4 days.

 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use
the Hazardous
material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

 3. The distributors of coke have been using it to  clean the engines of
their trucks for about 20
years!
