Cola Addict Dies of Heart Attack, Leaves Behind Eight Children

I have written before about the dangers of excessive caffeine, and my own battle to wean myself from the drug after years of guzzling pop @ an extreme rate. Well, I just recently heard of a woman who had about a gallon to 2 gallon daily coke habit, who at 30 years of age had a heart attack and passed into eternity.

My warnings against caffeine then were not paranoid, or “fear mongering” but rather firmly grounded in sound reasoning. Soft drink marketers should be forced to put warnings on their products just like cigarette companies. I know, they might kick and scream about how it’s unreasonable, but caffeine IS a stimulant (and therefore a drug) and excessive use (evidently) kills.

I know it was the woman’s choice to drink as much as she did, so the pop companies are not the only culprits in this tragedy, but let it serve as a warning to other people. The woman left behind children, and that to me is the biggest tragedy of all.
