Water or Soft drink?

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

WATER

1. 75% of people are chronically dehydrated.

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

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's
metabolism for 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 fuzz
short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and
difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a
printed page.

risk of colon cancer by 45%, slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%
and bladder cancer by 50%.
