  • The first thing she would do in the morning was have a drink of Coke, and the last thing she would do in the day was have a drink of Coke by her bed
  • It is more likely than not that the drinking of very large quantities of Coke was a substantial factor that contributed to the development of the metabolic imbalances, which gave rise to arrhythmia.
  • Ms Harris's teeth had been pulled out because they became rotten, and that at least one of her children was born having no tooth enamel.

    Citation: Chapman, Paul. "Coca-Cola Addiction Contributed to Mother's Death." Telegraph.co.uk. The Telegraph, 12 Feb. 2013. Web. 13 Feb. 2013. . Summary: Thirty year old mother Natasha Harris drank up to 10 liters of Coca Cola a day, more than twice the 400mg safe limit of caffeine.  This is what is reported to be a possible reason for her death.  Coroner David Crerar found out she died of cardiac arrhythmia due to caffein and poor nutrition.  It was reported she smoked 30 cigarettes a day, ate a little, and would drink Coke in the morning and before she went to bed.  Her teeth were pulled out due to decay, One of her children was born having no tooth enamel because of her Coke addiction.  Coroners recommended Coca Cola to put caffeine content on the labels and warnings for excessive consumption.  Coca Cola became disappointed about the information, but are uncertain her death was caused by her Coke consumption or her unhealthy lifestyle.

    It seemed very bizarre how someone could be addicted to Coca Cola, drinking more than what I usually drink everyday. I consider this as substance abuse, because she was damaging her health by taking too much caffeine. Surprisingly, the death was believed to be caused by her Coca Cola addiction, and most substance abuse death involve tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. People should know more about what they consume before it may kill them.

  • While the FDA approval may signal the green light for safe consumption, 85 percent of all complaints registered with the FDA are for adverse reactions to aspartame, including five reported deaths.
  • A study funded by Monsanto to study possible birth defects caused by consuming aspartame was cut off after preliminary data showed damaging information about aspartame.
  • In 1981, an FDA statistician stated that the brain tumor data on aspartame was so "worrisome" that he could not recommend approval of NutraSweet.

    "Aspartame's Hidden Dangers." Mercola.com. Mercola.com, n.d. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. . "Aspartame Is, by Far, the Most Dangerous Substance on the Market That Is Added To Foods." Mercola.com. Mercola.com, n.d. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. . Summary: This article covers the negative health effects that come with the human consumption of aspartame, a natural sweetener found in "diet" foods and beverages such as Coca-Cola Zero. Among the health risks are birth defects in pregnant women, worsening of diabetes, the development of brain tumors, epilepsy, and emotional disorders such as clinical depression. The consumption of aspartame can cause headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain, according to Mercola.com. Studies done on the adverse health effects of aspartame have often been altered to remove the negative results.

    Personally, I find it sickening that the FDA is allowing this substance to remain on the market. The FDA has offered no statements regarding the countless adverse health effects caused by aspartame, even though they obviously exist. Hopefully, it will be banned sometime soon.
