    Cement and Concrete are two very different things, cement is really only one of 4 components of concrete, which is actually cement, water, fine aggregate (sand), and coarse aggregate (rock or stone).

    What about Pozolanic materials and other additives?

    Hate to rain on the parade, but the Coke-douche thing is not true according to Snopes:

    This is important; don't spread around misinformation about birth control. From the above link:


    =====================
    As stated above, this method wasn't all that effective at preventing pregnancy. Though Coca-Cola might have been a (slight) step up from plain water, douching with any liquid is far too often a case of attempting to close the barn door after the horse has got loose. By the time the douche is fired off, 100,000 or thereabouts sperm are swimming around in the uterus, already out of reach of any douche, even a fizzy one. Women should be reluctant to turn to soda pop douches for another reason besides their ineffectiveness at preventing Momhood — the sugars in them being let loose in that part of a woman's anatomy can lead to yeast infections, an annoying, difficult-to-cure condition.

    Oh, since I'm shooting down Urban Legends, LittleToe's Bumblebee is not quite as "science-defying" as he claims:

    http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathland_3_31.html

    ===================
    So, no one "proved" that a bumblebee can't fly. What was shown was that a certain simple mathematical model wasn't adequate or appropriate for describing the flight of a bumblebee. Insect flight and wing movements can be quite complicated. Wings aren't rigid. They bend and twist. Stroke angles change.

    Yet the myth persists that science says a bumblebee can't fly. This tale has taken on a life of its own as a piece of "urban folklore" on the Internet, passed on from one browser to another.

    You can make concrete without 'em...that's why they're called admixtures, the original pozzolanic was what was left after burning coal at power plants, known as flyash...usability depended on how well the coal was burned...lower burn the more adversely air entrainment is affected.
