Coca-Cola drinking 'linked to NZ woman's death

Post Reply New Topic

Drinking too much water can do you in.

Remember Terry Schiavo? Her problem came about from drinking so much tea that her electrolyte levels fell too low and she suffered a heart attack from which she never recovered and ended up in a coma.

I like coke but it would never even occur to me to try and drink 10 liters a day even for one day.
That's just asking for it.

They say everyone who drinks Coke dies sooner or later... tragic.

So Bloomberg is also a clairvoyant?

It says something about our society when biscuits and chocolate are cheaper than fruit and then we're all shocked when these unhealthy products actually cause deaths...

People die every day from coke overdoses.

Someone told me years ago about a certain healthfood freak who was fanatic about carrot juice.

He drank so much of it that he finnally died of Karotine poisoning ( he actually started to turn orange before he died).

He who lives by the carrot, dies by the carrot!

The golden rule of nutrition: All things in moderation.

To point out the obvious, she killed herself.

Of course, news agencies try to spin it off with headlines like "Woman dies from drinking Coke", as if Coke were somehow inherently harmful, even in reasonable amounts. Anyone who drinks that much of anything is going to die fairly soon. Ten liters of water in a day may well kill you, and it's likely the only thing that kept her going that long was the slight diuretic effect of the caffeine. This is an example of an extreme case of addiction.
