Drinking Cola Linked To Muscle Weakness, Vomiting, Fatigue, Heart Problems
Health Day News
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Drinking too much cola can increase the risk of a muscle problem called hypokalemia, experts warn.
In people with hypokalemia, a drop in blood potassium levels results in problems with vital muscle functions. Symptoms can range from mild weakness to serious paralysis, say Greek researchers who conducted a review of people who drank between two to nine liters of cola a day.
Two of the patients were pregnant women who were admitted to hospital with low potassium levels. One was a 21-year-old woman who drank up to three liters of cola a day and complained of fatigue, appetite loss and persistent vomiting. An electrocardiogram revealed she had a heart blockage, and blood tests showed she had low potassium levels, the researchers explained in a news release.

The second pregnant patient, who’d consumed up to seven liters of cola a day for 10 months, had low potassium levels and was suffering from increasing muscular weakness, the researchers noted.
Both patients made a rapid and full recovery after they stopped drinking cola and took oral or intravenous potassium. The case studies are described in the June issue of the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
“We are consuming more soft drinks than ever before, and a number of health issues have already been identified including tooth problems, bone demineralization and the development of metabolic syndrome and diabetes,” and there’s increasing evidence that excessive cola consumption leads to hypokalemia, Dr. Moses Elisaf, of the University of Ioannina, said in the news release.

Do not drink cola/pop/soda.
If you are, make sure you dilute it with alcohol.
and then, only in moderation.

It’s not surprising that soft drinks make you sick, they are loaded with sugar which makes your body acidic.
I have had to cut out soft drinks all together as I am undergoing the alternative treatment for cancer. I am happy to do so as it is far better than the chemotherapy trap.

Thats not in colas, just certain sodas like Dr. Pepper, Orange Soda, Grape Soda, Hawaiian Punch.
But yeah, they are all bad in one way or another.
Of course bottled water isn’t even safe these days. And try to find a water filter that will remove fluoride from your tap water. Most want do it.

No filters can remove fluoride! Do you want to know why? Taken straight from a chemical engineer’s website: because fluoride molecules and water molecules ARE THE SAME SIZE. Basically, once it goes in, you cannot remove it; only dilute it by not adding more.

Distilation and Reverse Osmosis can – water molecules have a different specific boiling point then Flouride.
Lot’s of info online about this!
Also people can use those water reclimators that reclaim water from air – if you live in a decently humid part of the country it works well.
Soo…. I don;t get your point I guess…

Too bad they did’nt just keel over and die!
Any stupid fat ass who drinks 9 litres of cola a day deserves whatever happens to them. It aint the cola company’s fault, it’s the stupid fat asses fault for being both fat and stupid.

I would agree with you, but companies like Coca Cola are pushing themselves into every country and if one of them comes in they open the flood gates of these poor products. For instance, here in Russia, they come in… The biggest threat to their Coca Cola is our local drink, Kvas which is made by black bread soaked in sugar water.. Not really bad for you. They now make a Kvas drink called Cask and Barrel. They also open the flood gates to other American empires. They are now the official distributor of Cambell’s Soup in Russia. When you see the cummulative effect of these products on a population, like America’s ever expanding wasteline… You’ll be upset at minimum. I am personally tired of GM foods and these nasty sugar soaked crap pushed on us. These big companies are just bad, period.

I used to drink that stuff, but in Florida they grow so fast it’s hard to keep up with them.
It can be really dangerous for some people, though – Liver damage, Kidney-failure, and/or coma dangerous.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Three to seven damn liters a day? How wonder they got sick. Dah! Brings a whole new meaning to “stuck on stupid”.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I had acid reflux in my thirties, wiped it out with kevin truedaus methods, but later on in my forties i started up on cola again after rooming with someone who drank a lot of it, drank a few cans a day for like 3 days and I had a sleeping choking acid reflux at night.

Really? I’m 27 and my acid reflux is just killer. I’ve noticed it flares up when i’m nervous though. Don’t drink soda, don’t smoke and I stay away from junk. Maybe i’ll look into to KT’s methods if i can find them for free.

This is not free, but is not expensive, when it comes to your heath. I want be with out it. I know it has helped me. We get sick when we have acids in our body, this gets the acid out of our body. Check out the vidio http://www.x2omovie.com/htecash

fguhhn, kmart started putting KT’s books on their shelves last year, just goto index find acid reflux in a few minute you will have your free confirmation. not sure but if I remember correctly sipping a teaspoon raw organic apple cider vinegar once a day, it sounds crazy, afterall it doesn’t seem logical to take acid to fight acid reflux is main thing, but I think that’s what you take. also secondarily, eliminate cola,coffee, substitute pure stevia extract for sugar,make sure it’s pure not with added enzymes, not that you don’t need enzymes, just a way I have seen they dilute stevia, a pinch = like 7 sugar packets unless you get it with enzymes, 30 day organic colon cleanse,try kmart though to be sure, also his weight loss book is there too. it was the only thing that worked for me and even without exercise.

fguhhn, I listened to the stupid conventional physicians, and took Prevacid for months. That made the reflux much worse, and I graduated to Nexium and similar PPI crap medicines. Still worse. So finally I went to a chiropractor, who first treated my hiatal heria by simply pushing it down, and he gave me active B vitamin supplements to support a weak diaphragm. Still I had some problems, even after taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar every night before eating. So he used energy medicine, called NMT (Neuro Modulation Technique). With this he greatly improved things. Google it and find a practitioner near you. Hope this info helps.

I really think the nutrasweet itself is addictive. I’m having a terrible time getting off it.

that stuff is so bad for you, it never leaves your body, it just accumulates in your body, eventually making nice little cancerous tumors.
Read how Rumsfeld pushed the FDA to approve nutrasweet/aspartame, this will help cure your addiction I’m sure:

I don’t know how valid this issue is on Coke. I have drank it for years and I am now 50. Not as much as these people have apparently. I am perfectly healthy per my last doctors check up this year, no heart problems, no weakness, no vomitting, nothing. I sleep very well and I am in 100% good health. No low potassium levels either. I drink it daily maybe 2 or sometimes 3 cans. Never had any health problems in 50 years. Never had diabeties, no high blood pressure. So you can see where I am questioning the testing. Maybe they had them drinking way too much of the stuff, not eating right, and nothing else to get their results. I can’t stand the other sodas at all, never liked any of the stuff. Hate the diet pops, would rather drink water instead. I notice they didn’t even test the other soda types in their research, just Coke. Maybe this is their way to put people off Coke, and get them to drink the weak Pepsi instead. I will buy a Ecolo water filter system and drink water, before I ever drink the other sodas. Try testing Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Orange Crush, and others people. It is not right to test just one type of soda and leave the others out of your little testing experiment competely.
I will not give up my Cokes, period! If the rest of you want to believe this bullshit, go right ahead. Be gullible as hell. I have drunk it since I was 12 years old, every day of my life. My perfect health proves to me their study is rigged somehow.

You think you’re in good health, but you could easily have tumors growing in you, and also alzeheimer’s, or any other neurodegenerative disease. Do you not realize the global elite control Coke and all the other garbage drinks? Go to Mike Adam’s site at naturalnews.com. It’s going to catch up with you eventually, its called an accumulative effect. Big deal, you’re 50, you think you’ve reached “old” age at 50? How do you know you’ll make it to 55?

My father drinks about 9-10 cans of diet coke every single day along with at least one bag of potato chips or a box of cereal (not the healthy kind). It is absolutely disgusting how some people will not only eat bad things, but to literally eat themselves to death and then wonder how they got sick. We need to stop buying these processed products and start growing our own food. You can even grow food inside your home with hydroponic technologies and the great thing about hydroponics is that there is no dirt and therefore no bugs.

People can drink more natural drinks by making their own fruit drinks and compote. These things are very easy to do and the drinks last in storage for a long time. They are fun to make with the children and the children will definitely love drinking them and it won’t damage their bodies like sodas do. I believe the process of making natural fruit drinks is sugar water and fruit… I believe it is boiled in a big pot, then everything is poured into a jar after it stands and cools. Then it can be refrigerator or placed in a basement to remain cool. Also, green tea is a better choice of a beverage. Make iced teas for the hot days.

Read about the cut-throat tactics used by the “Medical Mussolinis”. If you do some research you’ll also find that ‘JAMA’ is often behind the biased attacks to ban vitamins.

My sister used to go out with this bloke that drank Co-Cola all day way back in 1969, he always had one in his hand – at that stage I thought he was just being a fashion / HIP person by carrying his bottle around. Later after 18months he started to develop red dots over his skin and was feeling tired and lethargic at the end of my sisters relationship with him. ( I don’t think it was my sister that made him so, anyway.) This bloke was very fit and did watersports, He had test to see what was wrong, but as usual, Nothing! was found. Doctors in 1969, they didn’t really know about fashion / TV mind control / formula X, back then and still don’t.
Every thing to be taken in Moderation after careful investigation.

I think they are attacking the coca cola company because they haven’t claim to promote gay marriages. So the left extremist are do all they can to bankrupt the coca cola company. I’m not saying that drinking any soda is good for you. Because it isn’t,it makes you fat and can cause a number of health issues.
