Too much of anything seems to be bad for you.

secaner: "Di" means 2, and "mono" means 1. Dihydrogen monoxide is therefore 2 atoms of hydrogen molecularly bonded with 1 atom of oxygen, and otherwise known as H2O (water). You probably posted that as humor, but some people could freak out and take it seriously.

BANĀ· DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! THE INVISIBLE KIlLER Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea,vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death. Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservior in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars in property damage. The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED IT'S NOT TOO LATE Act-NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. :o)

Looks to me like she had plenty of other reasons to die other than ingesting pounds of sugar and carbonation a day. Sounds like the coroners office has an agenda. They might want to question the outcome of this if it is the final conclusion that coca-cola killed her.

8 kids at 30 years old, 8-10 liters of Coca-Cola per day, packs of cigarettes in between sips... Can you imagine how much this woman weighed??? This is completely disgusting. I gave up soft drinks a long time ago and after that just a few sips of the stuff literally makes me feel like garbage (makes no difference if it's diet or regular). That's all it took to convince me of how awful that stuff is for you.

I'd say the 8 kids didn't help either. :)

I would bet that all of those excesses contributed to her death. Actually for a 30 year old, I would say the "not eating" did the most damage.
