Easy for me, water is my favorite drink of all. I don´t need that fact sheet to know that water is healthier.

Also, if I am thirsty, Coke doesn´t help, it MUST be water.

I like to flush out all the toxins in my body regularly. If it can dissolve a nail, imagine how much bad stuff in my body it can get rid of!
