It always seemed like a scare tactic that fat fearing parents would tell
their sugar loving kids: if you drink too much Coke, you could die!
(okay, maybe in a not so morbid way) But a woman actually died from
drinking too much Coke. The coroner blamed the 30-year-old woman's 2.2
GALLON a day Coke problem—as in Coca Cola—as the reason for her death.
2.2
gallons is about 4 2-liters or nearly 24 cans of Coke every day. Holy
poo. Natasha Harris, the woman who drank too much Coke, passed away in
February 2010 but coroner David Crerar just recently released his
report, saying:
"I find that when all the available
evidence is considered, were it not for the consumption of very large
quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have
died when she died and how she died."
In addition:
[Her
habit] "was a substantial factor that contributed to the development of
the metabolic imbalances which gave rise to the arrhythmia".
Harris,
who didn't drink alcohol, was also found to have an enlarged liver
because of fatty depostis from excessive sugar consumption and low
potassium levels in her blood. Her body was ruined inside from all the
fizzy brown syrup. Coke responded to the coroner's claim, saying:
"[We]
are disappointed that the coroner has chosen to focus on the
combination of Ms Harris' excessive consumption of Coca-Cola, together
with other health and lifestyle factors, as the probable cause of her
death. This is contrary to the evidence that showed the experts could
not agree on the most likely cause."
