If one believes reports from New Zealand, he coke problem
seems to be a growing one. There was quite a shocking death the other
day attributed to ingesting too much coke. Experts there say that a stay
at home mom New Zealand woman, Natasha Harris, had a 2 gallon a day
coke habit may have been the cause of he death. But wait! I'm not
writing about cocaine. It's Coca Cola that did her in.
Apparently drinking 2 gallons of coke a day will kill you as fast as those burgers chips and other "bad foods" we eat and enjoy. But then, Coke says in response to Nastasha's death that even if we drink two gallons a day of water it would probably kill just as fast. As we unhealthy eaters like to note, eating or drinking too much of anything is what kills. It's not the Coca cola that is bad (beyond being empty calories). It's the addiction to it. The suspicion in Natasha's death is that she had a heart attack brought on by her low potassium level, caused by the excessive intake of coke and by her poor over all nutrition that was created by her diet of coke and little else.
I wonder how Natasha became that addicted to coke. But then, she reportedly smoked about 30 cigarettes a day as well. It makes me wonder if she had substituted water, or juice or anything else for the gallons of Coke, would she also have died. Her general health was so poor, maybe the Coke is innocent of the deathly charges. The kidneys ability to process liquids of any sort is limited, which explains why so many dehydrated humans people have died from drinking too much water. Is the story just an assault on Coca Cola? I doubt many will drink Coke at the rate Natsaha did.
Now we will have the food police warn us about the evils of soft drinks, the high corn fructose that sweeten them, the phosphoric acid contained in them. Hmmmm Natasha also had 8 kids! Maybe too many kids kill too. Or perhaps it was suicide. If I had 8 kids, smoked 30 cigarettes a day and drank 2 gallons a day of Coke I would be suicidal.
Sounds to me it was more a case of her dreary life killing her than sipping the Coca Cola.
