WOW, it didn't happen in America :D :D
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Experts say a New Zealand woman's 2-gallon-a-day Coca-Cola habit probably contributed to her death, a conclusion that led the soft-drink giant to note that even water can be deadly in excessive amounts.
Natasha Harris, a 30-year-old, stay-at-home mother of eight from Invercargill, died of a heart attack in February 2010. Fairfax Media reported that a pathologist, Dr. Dan Mornin, testified at an inquest Thursday that she probably suffered from hypokalemia, or low potassium, which he thinks was caused by her excessive consumption of Coke and overall poor nutrition.
Symptoms of hypokalemia can include abnormal heart rhythms, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Mornin said that toxic levels of caffeine, a stimulant found in Coke, also may have contributed to her death, according to Fairfax.
Harris' partner, Chris Hodgkinson, testified that Harris drank between 8 and 10 liters (2.1 and 2.6 gallons) of regular Coke every day -- that's more than 20 12-ounce drinks.
"The first thing she would do in the morning was to have a drink of Coke beside her bed and the last thing she would do at night was have a drink of Coke," Hodgkinson said in a deposition. "She was addicted to Coke."
Hodgkinson also said Harris ate little and smoked about 30 cigarettes a day. In the months before her death, he said, Harris experienced blood pressure problems and lacked energy.
He said that on the morning of her death, Harris helped get her children ready for school before slumping against a wall. He called emergency services and tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but couldn't revive her.
Another pathologist, Dr. Martin Sage, said in a deposition that "it is certainly well demonstrated that excessive long or short term cola ingestion can be dramatically symptomatic, and there are strong hypothetical grounds for this becoming fatal in individual cases."
Inquests such as this are sometimes held for unusual or unexplained deaths in New Zealand, and can help shape future health policies. With the evidence in the case now complete, the coroner's office will compile and issue a final report into the death.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Lisa Te Morenga, a nutritionist at the University of Otago, said excessive consumption of any type of liquid in a cool climate would be likely to play havoc with the body's natural systems and balance.
Karen Thompson, a spokeswoman for Coca-Cola Oceania, said in a statement that its products are safe.
"We concur with the information shared by the coroner's office that the grossly excessive ingestion of any food product, including water, over a short period of time with the inadequate consumption of essential nutrients, and the failure to seek appropriate medical intervention when needed, can be dramatically symptomatic."

coke was way better when they left the cocaine in it....

This thread is like anti-Coke. I'm not digging this.
Support Coca-Cola b/c they support Foz.

Processed sugar is the cause of heart disease, (or inflammation from excess sugar intake, however you want to look at it) so this is not very surprising news to me.
They loved blaming fat for it in the 90's, but that didn't really work out too well. There are plenty of cultures that ate shitloads of animal fats and don't have heart problems,
diabetes, or any other health issues. As soon as you introduce the Western diabetes inducing diet, BAM, everyone's health goes to shit. Look at Native Americans once
they had whitey's modern processed foods. Health down the shitter.
Too bad I am sugar addict. It will kill me. I'll have another poptart and a Sierra Mist please.

2.5 gallons of soda a day? Bullshit. It's impossible to drink that much liquid/soda in one day. They said this because they are going to sue CocaCola.
When I was hardcore BBing in my 20's and 30's I tried my best to drink 1 gal of water a day... it wasn't easy.

I used to drink a case of beer a day, thats just under 2 1/2 gals, plus shots of jack and coffee. I was always thirsty back then. :D

But she was from Invercargill so you cant expect much more, they are a little thick that far south. From reading between the lines it sounds like she was a little simple.

That's what I think too. How do you drink that much fluid in a day, especially in a cool climate? It's impossible. When I was prepping and had to drink all that water, I found it hard and time consuming and to constantly be peeing was really annoying. But to drink this much soft drink everyday in a cool climate, I am not buying it.

You are a con artist, uses people, lies, manipulates and only does whatever she has to do for her own benefit. Plain and simple you are a sociopathic whore. A clearer demonstration of borderline personality disorder I have never seen, and I should recognize it when its there. She needs a beating. And Will is a stone cold bitch to not out any of her info after she fucked him over and lied about him and everything. Will Grant, if you read this, you are as big a bitch as Wes, and thats some bad company.

Hodgkinson also said Harris ate little and smoked about 30 cigarettes a day.
A 30-a-day habit had nothing to with her death. ::)

Yes and yet steroids are the evil ::)

Caramel?
politically correct answer

Yes and yet steroids are the evil ::)
Worst drug of all, I see people dropping dead from testosterone every day, rumors say it was found in every male that died in 2011, and even in smaller traces in females.
As it was found in 100% of cases, scientists say that this is evidence that testosterone is lethal. ::) ::)

Cokes a helluva drug...

That looks highly adictive to me hahahaa... i wish they sell it over here.....they did sell the one with the lemon taste but i didnt care for it that much...
-
I asked a guy once why these are legal and steroids are not. Bottom line was that he agreed that these are bad (duh!) But that we cant removed them because....wait for it....the people are used to them for so long so its not good to remove them...
I asked about introduction of seatbelt, improvements in traffic (lights etc) and many other examples people never even saw before they were there and we still have gotten used to them so whats the deal with drugs. He gave me no answer...!
Legal drugs, make dependant, kill and earn the most for the seller-->good combination for our loving governments!
Totally on spot, the Governments earn good money through alcohol and tobacco.
Plus one thing is that they are drugs that let you function in everyday life (alcohol not so much! That's why alcoholism is ocnsidered bad) and have a long-term destructive effect.

lol .. why don't you try a new or even an original way to try and insult me ?
By saying you prefer that skank says a lot about you ... so your thinking I look like a tranny is moot and it also pleases me to know you don't like me .. I prefer it that way rather than the alternative
You keep counseling and comforting the old whore ... you suit each other well
ChevChelios = a Statham character ... you like thinking you look like him dontcha ? LOL

No, I'm in the UK - they're only selling it in Asda so far - Asda is owned by Walmart though so you should have it in the States at some stage. It's good stuff! :)

I gotta respectfully disagree. The fountain drink always comes out the crispest but SO much is dependent on the ice used with crushed being the best.

This is true as well....the only soda that doesn't taste as good from the fountain compared to the bottle /can is Mountain Dew
-
Sierra Mist natural kicks ass... the natural means cane sugar, not some high fructose bullshit.
I think it tastes 10x better than the HFCS shit, and most people would agree. The reason the soda companies
purposely sell their soda with the shittier tasting variation is because it is highly addictive.
The supermarket in my town sells the sodas from Mexico.... made with cane sugar and in a glass bottle. Kicks
the shit out of HFCS in an aluminum can.

Are you saying that wavelength as about as manly as pretending you're gay in Turkey to escape national service, and supplying photographic evidence DK?
-
I'm serious. If DK can somehow prove that he has ever been either bigger than me, stronger than me, or leaner than me, I will delete my GB account and never post here again. If he doesn't want that, I will do whatever he wants me to do to never bother him again, e.g. never post in any of his threads, etc. I will accept any prove he chooses to use. I believe he's an honest man.

If we take the story as true, how many sugar grams a day and how much caffeine a day does it translate to?
