That coke thing is funny, it makes me wanna try it. I'm curious about the dissolving nail thing and cleaning the toilet and greasy clothes thing.

Ugh, so gross, I'm glad I don't drink Coke!

Even if the story is streched a bit, we still need to drink more water!

coke is a sugarey syrup, not an acid.

Whoa - 7-8 litres PER DAY?!?

Consuming as little as 1.8 litres of water in a single sitting may prove fatal for a person adhering to a low-sodium diet, or 3 litres for a person on a normal diet.

Obviously you spread the water out over the day, but be careful! Too much water is as bad as not enough water!

One tip that may people may find helpful is to put your water into a bigger container. For example, I use a 750mL CamelBak water bottle. It's much easier for me to tell myself that I'm going to drink two of these before lunch and two after, then drink probably the equivalent of one at night. That ends up being about a gallon a day. Otherwise it's hard for people to constantly run back and forth to fill up smaller glasses, plus it's harder to know exactly how much you're getting. With these water bottles, I know that 5 is a little over a gallon.

I would say so. That's about 2 gallons per day, probably 17 pounds worth of water per day! I've seen even the most hardcore of athletes who would brag about how much water they drink only drinks 1.5 gallons on a regular basis. There's no reason for a normal person to drink that much. I try to drink a gallon but that's probably pushing it just a little. I only do that because I ride bikes so much.

Lol, i pay a cleaner - she cleans behind the toilet where the worst mess is (to many young males in the household lol).

On another note, pouring some baking soda down the bath/shower drain and then pouring some viniger afterwards cleans all the body fat and crap out of the pipes real well. Go easy on the products though eh - they react and make a nice foamy acid

Thumbs up Soup!

Morning,

I'm new here and have just re-again made the connection with drinking water and losing weight.

My question is the following - I love making soups out of chicken, beef, veggies, etc. It makes up quite a lot of my water intake. Would you say this contributes towards the 64 ounces of water one should drink?

Thanks!

Barbt

Hi everyone,

I have actually put a dirty copper coin into coke and let it sit in the coke for a couple of minutes. The coin comes out very shiny and clean looking new. Hate to think what it must do to our insides.

(Much of the item will dissolve eventually, but after a day or two you'll still have most of the tooth, a whole nail, and one very soggy t-bone.)

I gotta admit, some of the claims are really funny

I believe so!!! WOW, who would even consider drinking that much water in a day??

My mom goes to a holistic doctor and while he agrees that you need a lot of water, he says a really good formula to follow is, I believe, 1 ounce for every 40 lbs of body weight per half hour. So a 120 lbs person would need 3 ounces every half hour. That isn't hard for anyone to do. He said for a normal sized person, 8 ounces at one time really doesn't do the body much good that it just goes strait through you but if you drink 3-4 ounces every half hour then the water goes where it should and you stay well hydrated. He said it works better just to sip water all day long rather than drink a whole bunch in one sitting because again, it will just go strait through you.

On another note, my sister started getting this itchy hive like thing on her body. It started as bug like bites but they were swelling and ended up hurting really bad to touch. They would itch but they hurt so bad when she touched them that she couldn't really scratch them. Her whole body swelled up and just hurt tremendously. She took 4 days off work which is NOT like her at all, she doesn't even use her vacation until she has to or else loose them. Anyway, she went to this same holistic doctor and he told her that her kidneys were failing because she wasn't drinking enough water. He gave her some vitamins and told her to drink lots and lots of water. She did and she looks great now. After about 4 days of drinking nothing but water (she's afraid to even touch another soft drink or alchoholic drink) all of the swelling is gone!! I don't think I would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself--it was crazy!! Made me realize how important water was that's for sure.
