oh butter! i should never of doubted you!

Butter it is!! I dont think I could ever stomach margarine again knowing that! Cheers for the info!

I only eat butter or the butter blends thankfully. The transfatty acids in marg worried me too much.

Someone want to run out for a tub of "I can't believe it's not plastic" LOL

*skips reading 1st post*

Wot i dont know will help me sleep betta at nite! If it taste good, then BRING IT ON!! he he

i concur!

And here is a hoax one - proven to be totally untrue (I wonder what the "beauty brands" did to annoy the creator of this hoax??)

Lead is a Chemical, and it will cause Cancer. Recently,"Red Earth" decreased their price of lipsticks from $67 to $9.90, because they contain lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends.

Brand Names Containing Lead

1. Christian Dior 4
2. LANCOME 2
3. CLINIQUE 2
4. Y.S.L 5
5. ESTEE LAUDER 3
6. SHISEIDO 2
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) 2
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) 2
9. Market America-Motives lipstick 0

(If the number of lead is high, that means it's more likely to cause Cancer)

After this test, we found Y.S.L. lipstick is the most beautiful lipstick to wear, but because it contains lots of lead, it is not easy to "REMOVE". Everyone loves to wear lipstick, so now here is a test that you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand,
2. Use a 24k-14k Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to Black color; it means this lipstick has Lead.

Be smart everyone! When you buy a product, quality is very important

lead is dangerous tho, I don't know the affect on the lips, but if absorbed into the blood, it can cause some nice side effects..

Mercury is another dangerous substance..

I'm gonna try the margarine outside trick, wanna see if any mould and stuff grows

Here's one for you...


WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener!


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


WATER

1. 75% 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. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?



COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk 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 rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium 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 aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for 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.



FOR YOUR INFORMATION:



1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

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!

Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or coke?

il have a coke thanks.. hehe,. very rarely drink the stuff.

but didnt mythbuster`s dispel the myth of the t-bone in the coke tho? apparently it just tenderised it a bit...

dunno - most of it would be true - or its a marketing tactic for pepsi

you obviously don't watch mythbusters! (monday nights on SBS)
They tried out all of these things with coke and the only one that was true was that it would polish chrome bumpers all the rest were bullshit!
Doesn't dissolve steak or clean corroded batteries, and doesn't work as a spermicide either! Personally i was dissapointed they took the risk out of drinking coke and its not so exciting anymore! LOL

the scarey thing is that lately ive been consuming on average a litre of coke a day!!!

you serious?? and here we are thinking we're drinking a healthy fruit drink

errm, there's no room for fruit in those damn bottles. It's nearly 50% sugar, 25% flavouring, 24% water and 1% fruit

and thats giving them credit for adding fruit

i for one really enjoy the things that go into making ice cream....such as horses hooves!!!

wtf?? explain Nick..

mmmmmmm horsey goodness

And thats no lion
