The title is misleading. Stupidity and/or insanity ended her life, not Coca-Cola.

18 pints a day of it will do that to you.
And I thought I went overboard for having 2 cans today instead of 1...

You drink 10 litres of anything every day, and this will be the same result.

The title is misleading. Stupidity and/or insanity ended her life, not Coca-Cola. That's how you grab headline attention. Every newspaper in the history of ever does it. Quick to judge to. Sounds like she had a serious addiction most likely since her adolescent years and a lack of education on the nature of addiction. She needed help but her friends and family had no clue as to what. I don't understand how she had time to eat. I need an IV infusion to ingest 8-10L in one day of any drink.

Wow, that's nearly two 12-packs of the stuff. I would consider myself a minor soda addict myself, and I can't imagine consuming that much soda in four days, much less in 24 hours.

This story has gone around for a while and it's interesting how Coca-Cola is getting the blame for this. This woman clearly needed help and her family was enabling her by buying that much soda. You really can't blame the product when someone goes overboard and consumes too much of it, but I guess that's the "health craze" for you.

I can go through 4L a day and not feel any effect... but then again I don't recommend that to anyone whose body tolerates caffeine.

What's with people picking on Coke lately? I guess it is the new cigarettes

Wow this might be the lamest way to OD on coke.
If I ever get addicted to coke it's gonna be the nose candy.

This article leaves out the fact she smoked 30 cigarettes a day. That couldn't have helped matters any.

She's also a 30 year old mother of 8. Doesn't sound like she had the healthiest of habits.
