In 2010 anew Zealnd woman of 31 was killed by an over dose of the pop that so many love. Granted, Natasha Harrison drank about 2.6 gallons of coke every day. That's 2.2 pounds of sugar per day. It is not healthy to even drink that much water in a day, let alone a caffeinated beverage. The article says that she skipped meals and smoked heavily which could not have helped her situation. A toxicologist notes that drinking that much coke with only a little food would have starved Harrison of needed nutrients and said that anything in a large enough dose will be toxic.
Given that there were warning signs, and how crazy that even sounds I cannot fathom why someone didn't stop her or seek help for her situation. "Close friends said she would "get the shakes" and other withdrawal
symptoms. Her heart would race, her liver was swollen, and her rotting
teeth had to be removed," and that didn't tip anyone off?!
