*** WATER *** good info
Question:
I used to use coke to remove the rust from my bicycle… it worked. That’s why I don’t drink it today ; ) Be well- Tracy CD class of ‘98 my homepage: http://home.talkcity.com/ParadiseDr/goodboie/index.html : ) smile – it makes people wonder what you’re up to!

This folklore along with the debunking email hit my work a month ago. A coworker decided to conduct a test: he placed a nail in a glass of tap water, a nail in a glass of bottled water; a nail in a glass of orange juice, and a nail in a class of Coca Cola. After three days, they all showed pitting except for the bottled water (I think — one of the waters seemed better than the other). What his experiment proved: if your teeth are made of nails, don’t soak them in coca-cola or oj for three straight days!!!

And even the admonition that we all need "8 glasses of water a day," which we all hear over and over again, may not be true. Here’s a reference to an article that gives some reasonable advice. http://www.chetday.com/eightglassesofwater.htm — Wayne Marsh – Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Actually, Coke can’t be that bad if it did have more concentrated acid anyways. We have highly concentrated Hydrochloric acid in our stomachs! We use more diluted HCl in our Science experiments! Actually, the acid in my stomach was so strong that it dissolved some of my esophugus when I was really sick. Thanks, Alex
