A lethal dose of Coca-Cola

Основной причиной смерти 30-летней женщины стало   большое количество выпитой Кока-колы, — сделала заключение полиция Новозеландского города Инверкаргилл .

Наташа Харрис ежедневно выпивала по 10 литров газированного напитка, пока три года назад у неё не остановилось сердце.  Женщина превысила рекомендуемую безопасную дозу кофеина в два раза и более чем в 11 раз — сахара. Исследователи подсчитали, что 10 литров Кока-колы  содержит более 1 кг сахара и 970 гр. кофеина.

The Coca-Cola Company tried to convince the investigation that its products had nothing to do with Ms. Harris's death. The mother of eight children, they believe, had been suffering from a number of health problems over the past year.

In turn, the extended family claims that the mother developed an addiction to Coca-Cola and went into "withdrawal" if her favorite beverage was not available. She drank Coca-Cola all her life and even lost all her teeth as a result. Even the fact that her children's baby teeth had lost their enamel did not stop her.

Police officials said that Coca-Cola could not be held responsible for the health of consumers who drank excessive amounts of the product. At the same time, they called on manufacturers of sweet drinks to visibly inform consumers about the high concentration of sugar and caffeine in their products.
Г-жа Харрис и ее семья должны были «прислушаться» к симптомам своей болезни, добавил следователь.
