Milk Or No Milk?

For someone who loves milk (only because ive been drinking since a child) the thought of this experiment is daunting to say the least. It should be noted that I over the last 20 years ive only drank skim milk, but milk is milk in this test so here goes no milk for two weeks.
Try giving up all dairy -- that means milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream for two weeks and see if you feel better. You should notice improvements with your sinuses, post-nasal drip, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, energy, and weight. Then start eating dairy again and see how you feel. If you feel worse, you should try to give it up for life.

Water And Coke

1. Seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half world population.)


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


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


9. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.


10. 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.
