Today I read an article on  fox news.com http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/02/12/woman-dies-from-drinking-10-liters-coke-day-coroner-says/?intcmp=obnetworkabout a mother in New Zealand dying from drinking 10 liters of Coca-Cola per day written by foxnews.com. The name of the woman is Natasha Harris who had went into cardiac arrest on February 2010 and died at age 30. When she had died a pathologist had notice that she had hypokalemia or lack of potassium in the blood. According to her family said that she was addicted to soda and that if she didn't get her fix she would start shaking then eventually her teeth were removed because of sugar decay. One of Harris's kids was born without enamel on his or her teeth because of their mother's addiction. The continuation of intake of Coca-Cola causes cardiac arrhythmia which means the heart beats too fast or too slow. Coroner David Crerar had said drinking too much soda is two pounds of sugar and 970 milligram of caffeine. In my opinion, I feel that drinking too much soda drinks is not good for you because it can cause you to have diabetes and possibly high blood pressure but if you minimize your take-in of soda you should be okay health wise.
