WELLINGTON,
New Zealand (AP) — Experts say a New
Zealand woman’s 2-gallon-a-day Coca-Cola habit probably contributed to her
death. The soft-drink giant has responded by noting that even water can be
deadly in excessive amounts.
Natasha
Harris was a 30-year-old mother of eight from Invercargill who died of a heart
attack in 2010. Fairfax Media says a pathologist testified Thursday that she
probably suffered from hypokalemia, or low potassium, which was caused by
excessive consumption of Coke and overall poor nutrition.
Harris’
partner says she drank up to 10 liters (2.6 gallons) of regular Coke every day.
He also says she ate little and smoked about 30 cigarettes a day.
The
coroner’s office is compiling a final report on Harris’ death. A Coca-Cola
spokeswoman says its products are safe.
