Warning: Coke kills

[Tekania]

It should also be noted that she hardly ate anything, and smoked 30 cigarettes a day. So massive sugar and caffeine intake, little to no nutrients, and on a 1+pack a day cig habit....

It's, THE AMERICAN WAY!

No, the American way would be adding three or four fast-food meals to that rather than not eating.

So, it is "Dieting: The American way"?

Happened in NZ, unfortunately.

[Anollasia]

Pretty sure it's common knowledge that too much soda is bad and can kill. So, no, it's not coke's fault.

This.

[Copenhagen Metropolis]

Coca-Cola, water, sleep and pretty much everything else, will kill you if the quantities are high enough.

Fools will be fools. They should have warning labels attached to them so that businesses could refuse to service them and didn't have to deal with their stupidities. *nods*

[Copenhagen Metropolis]

We measure coke in liters, you do not need to translate to imperial.

It's sold in 2 liter bottles. Boy, the US has a weird composite of imperial and metric units.

It's not weird at all. You and your presumptions - it's sold in 0.53 gallon bottles. That you go ahead and translate that into litres is not their fault.

That would imply the cause of death was starvation. (probably lack of minerals, maybe calcium - that one , when lacking , fucks up your cardiovascular system)
Which . . . actually sets an in interesting point, in that the Coca-Cola rebuttal might be correct.
I mean, if someone replaces most of their nutrition with your product, even though it's clearly not a balanced source of nutrition, and then dies from lack of other nutrients, essentially, it's not your product that killed them.
Same way, if someone decided to scrounge money by eating nothing but dry white bread (some pensioners eat almost like that) ,and died from similar causes of undernourishment (lack of protein, for one) , it wouldn't be the fault of the breadmaker, would it.

[Hallistar]

She should have atleast went with the diet coke, even though the phosphoric acid and so on in that also rots aaway at your teeth. That and the sodium I guess.

The enamel of my teeth was damaged badly by my constant drinking of even diet soda, I brush constantly now and my teeth are alot more resistant to pain and healthier, but I can tell the damage to my enamel of some of my teeth is still there by the increased transparency.

[Czechanada]

You mean she drunk up to 10L/day.

No, he means she drank up to 10L per day, or alternatively that she had drunk up to 10L per day. Learning basic grammar before correcting others is generally a good idea.

Drank is not a proper English word.

I'orry but sleep will not kill you unless you do it while doing something dangerous like driving a car.

Yes. There should be machines installed in the house of every system that directly feed people the exact amount of nutrition they need.

[Death Metal]

Too much water can kill you, so... not exactly something to get all Paranoid Parrot over.

[Oshawottistan]

Oh, for the love of sports entertainment.

Frivolous lawsuits seem to be everywhere nowadays. Or maybe it's just me.

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

You can't even get me to drink a gallon of milk in a day. Holy crap.

[Dazchan]

No, he means she drank up to 10L per day, or alternatively that she had drunk up to 10L per day. Learning basic grammar before correcting others is generally a good idea.

Drank is not a proper English word.

Drank would be the past tense of drink.. I would like to reiterate my point that you should learn the language before trying to correct others.

[Ikea]

Read the title, thought it was cocaine.

Can breathe easier now.

[Enatai]

The woman is to blame. Any chemical, even water, can be lethal if you ingest too much of it too quickly or if you ingest so much of it that it builds up to dangerous levels in your body. She must have had some signs of declining health, though. I mean would there be the possibility of stimulant psychosis if the caffeine played a significant role?

Why in blazes is Coca-Cola trying to shirk the obvious truth!? Who in their right mind would blame them!?

[Dilange]

Flooding your body with any liquid is very hazardous to your health, even water. This lady needs to go in that book for the Darwin Awards.

[Blouman Empire]

A corner has determined that a woman died from drinking too much coke, it is reported she drank up to 10L/day (that's just over 2.5 gallons/day for you Yanks) this high amount of caffeine and sugar which were well over recommended safe limits, her consumption was so high that one of her children was born without enamel.

You mean she drunk up to 10L/day.

No I mean drank, drank is the past tense of drink.

[Blouman Empire]

They contend, also, that the amount of Coke Ms Harris drank ruined her children’s teeth, with at least one of her kids being born without enamel.

Aren't babies usually born without teeth? So her children should be born without enamel, or teeth for that matter. (Natal teeth are a different matter altogether.) I'd like to hear the explanation of the coroner about that. Or perhaps a more mundane explanation, could the children also picked up the habit from their mother?

He probably meant natal teeth.

Drink, drank, drunk.

A corner ...

I'm pretty sure this is mean to say "coroner", not "corner".

Yes well done you picked up my typo, you're a clever little boy aren't you?
