I decided not to post this---don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

It's really a good idea to check this kind of thing out at www.snopes.com before passing it on via the Internet.

Hi Carlene---thanks for the snopes idea. However, I didn't say it was true---I thought it was interesting and I welcome anyone's comments on this. My sister sent this to me and I was posting it to get anyone's ideas or reactions. Did you go to snopes and check it out? Even if it's not true, it still helps ME to drink my water and avoid diet soda.
