Media still blaming Coke for someone drinking 10 litres a day of it

Stuff reports:

In 2010, a Kiwi woman’s love of Coca-Cola made news all around the world. 

Natasha Harris, a mother of eight, drank up to 10 litres of the ‘Classic’ soft drink a day – a habit that ultimately contributed to her death. 

An inquest into the “unusual circumstances” surrounding her death was launched in 2012.

The case raised many questions about soft drinks, such as whether there should be warnings on the labels, or whether caffeine restrictions should be introduced.

The problem isn’t Coke. The problem is drinking 10 litres a day of it. That’s mad.

Drink 10 litres of milk a day and you’ll stuff yourself up. The human body can only process around 15 litres of water a day so even if she was drinking just water she’d be close to damaging herself from it.

If you really need to warn people not to drink 10 litres of coke a day, then we’ve become a society of imbeciles.
