Coca-Cola Addict Dies

Remember my earlier posts about Coca-Cola's new campaign targeted at being more aware of calorie intake? See it here and here. According to The Atlantic Wire, a women from New Zealand died from drinking too much Coke. The coroner said the this women drank 2.5 gallons of Coke a day and that it was a "substantial factor" in her death.The article states that her family was not too concerned about the amount of Coke she drank each day because there were no warning labels on the cans. The coroner reccommends that Coca-Cola put warning labels on the cans. A representative from Coca-Cola said that the company was disappointed to hear the coroners report. The women's death was quite unusual and the coroner recognized that the company was not responsible for her death.

So, what do you think? Should Coca-Cola put labels on their products warning that drinking too much can be harmful to a person's health? OR is it just common sense.. like eating too much McDonald's can make you fat?

I thought this was interesting considering that Coke just launched their new health conscious campaign.
