WHAT COKE DOES TO YOUR BODY

Dr. Rashid A. Buttar

In the first 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor, allowing you to keep it down.

20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (And there’s plenty of that at this particular moment.)

40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate; your blood pressure rises; as a response, your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked, preventing drowsiness.

45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production, stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and
artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.

60 minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium, and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water.

60 minutes: As the rave inside you dies down, you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like hydrating your system, or building strong bones and teeth.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) Want to know what happens after that? Check out what happens to your body after you drink a coke, every day for a long time.

Coke itself isn’t the enemy here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid, which are found in almost all sodas. Moderation, people!

Life is tough if you're Stupid

ONE
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the
teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
(Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener,
and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.)

TWO
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the
'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

( But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)

THREE
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'

(Keep shuddering!!)

FOUR
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered,
handing it and the car keys to me. As I
took the key and manually unlocked the door, I
replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and
check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.

Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right away'



Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're Stupid!!!!
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too.
Don't laugh....it is all true...

Prepare for the incoming economic storm

by Liz Adinan

As a banker, dealer and a neutral market watcher. I would like to share some market insights with my frens on what is really happening in Msia, in economic terms..and know that it is a tad scary out there.During July, international rating agency Fitch revised its outlook on Malaysia from "stable" to "negative" pointing to their lack of confidence in:

1) the government's progress on budgetary reforms and fiscal consolidation. In laymen terms, they doubt Msia's ability to manage our debts and deficits.

This set the mood for the impending storm Msia is about to face.

Subsequently in August, we saw massive capital outflow by foreign investors from our govt bonds and local equities. We saw outflows as much as RM 11billion in the bonds mkt and RM 3-4billion in the stock market, hence causing our Ringgit to be so weak that it hit the lowest since 2010. The last time we saw this much of capital flight was in 2009 when the US subprime crisis hit.

But we are not bleeding alone. Our regional friends such as Phillipines, Indonesia and India have had massive capital flight in the past weeks, so bad that Indian rupee hit the weakest against USD in the history of India. "A record low" is what we call it. But why? because investors are generally worried over the growth prospects of Asian countries, Malaysia included. Thus they r putting their funds in safe havens such as gold and US treasuries (bonds). The impending war in Syria provided more uncertainties in the market causing losses across many trading instruments.

Bank Negara 2 weeks ago revised downwards its view on our country's GDP, from 5-6% to 4.5-5%. Telling us officially, we are not as peachy as we think.

One of the sentiments by market watchers on Msia is that we have increasing trade deficits and debts but our govt is not doing anything? At least before and during elections the govt was not doing much. But a consolidation measure is required with the state Malaysia is in. A fiscal reform is needed. But a fiscal reform is rarely popular during elections. Nobody wants to be called sick and forced to eat the bitter pills when you are at a party. So BN waited till the party is over.

And come 2nd September, the govt announced a cut in the petrol subsidy. Citing that such cuts could save them RM1.1billion this year and another RM3.3 billion in 2014. Which is a save of 0.3% of GDP. Over the next 5 years, this is expected to reduce our trade deficits. This my friends is called a fiscal measure. One of the many pills Msia need to swallow to stay healthy. It is not a political move but an economic requirement.

Last week on 29 Aug USD/MYR hit 3.3300 level. On 3rd September a day after fuel hike was announced, Ringgit strenghtened to 3.2600 a positive sign. Economic research houses today noted that the subsidy cut is a step to the right direction but still not enough to change their negative views on the Msian credit prospects. So more reforms are expected, more unpopular annoucments will be made, more anger on social media, bashing on how bad the govt is. When in economic perspective, the govt is seen as positively trying to heal the economic health of Malaysia.

I just had a chat with my husband last night. He trades both in local and US market and agreed on the dire situation of our local n global markets. As we drove our humble MyVi home, we know the first thing we should do is to stop ignoring the facts n accept the reality in front of us. And the reality is, we are in the brink of uncertainties and that a financial storm is brewing. We may be wrong, it may not hit, but it is certainly brewing. Save and survive my friends.

Alhamdulh As bankers we may enjoy healthy bonuses and income, which mainly provided the lifestyle and the purchasing power we have. But that has to change from a lifestyle provider to survival contingency. I have made changes such as limiting our fancy dinners on weekdays to alternate weekends and have subdued the shopping monster in me. It is not because i have an increase of expenditure cuz of the 20 cents hike and that i cant afford the fancy dinners or the designer bags or the overseas trips but because i am being rational about what is coming. And i ask you to read and learn the reality from unbiased n informed sources with the hope it may encourage you to improve your habits for the better.

It is a tough time to endure for some and i admire your strenght. Take that anger and focus on surviving and be financially aware. Save if possible.

After a good hearty meal, our sweet desserts are finishing..now its time to take the pill. Take care.

Adakah kita berilmu untuk menjadi penindas mereka?

HAJI HANAFIAH MAT

Kita bising minyak naik Rm0.20 bukan kerana kita benci Malaysia.

Kita bising minyak naik bukan kerana kita tak mampu bayar.

Tapi...
Kita bising sebab janji tak serupa bikin.
Kita bising sebab kesiankan rakyat marhaen.
Memang kita berduit.
Memang kita berharta.

Namun,
jauh di pelusuk sana,
ada yang menghitung syiling.

Ada yang bekerja teruk terkontang kanting.
Mereka tak ada slip gaji.
Jauh sekali socso mahupun kwsp.Kerjanya keluar pagi balik dinihari.

Dan kalian pula berbicara indah persis pujangga metropolis?
Hanya 20 sen?
Itu pun nak bising?
Kerja lah lebih kuat lagi?
Beribadatlah lebih lagi?
Untuk dimurahkan rezeki?

Ya...
Sembang kalian sembang mereka yang berharta.
Sembang kalian sembang orang yang penuh wibawa.

Sedangkan ada mereka yang facebook pun tiada.
Motor buruk hanya tunggu masa.

Kerja lebih kuat dari si sarjana muda.

Kerja lebih ikhlas dari si phd mahupun master.

Hanya untuk mulut mereka sekeluarga.

Ya..
Mereka tak berharta.
Salah mereka kerana tidak berusaha di zaman muda.

Tapi adakah kita berilmu untuk menjadi penindas mereka?

Kalau itu sistem kehidupan.
Aku rela jadi bodoh dari kalian.Kerana aku taknak hilang perikemanusiaan.
