Paralytic over Softdrinks!

'Ostrich farmer requires emergency care for lung paralysis after consuming too much cola. Ostriches OK.'

Excessive cola consumption can lead to anything from mild weakness to profound muscle paralysis. It can cause your blood potassium to drop dangerously low.

Dr. Clifford Packer says that, “We have every reason to think that it is not rare. With aggressive mass marketing, super-sizing of soft drinks, and the effects of caffeine tolerance and dependence, there is very little doubt that tens of millions of people in industrialized countries drink at least 2-3 liters of cola per day. It follows that the serum potassium levels of these heavy cola drinkers are dropping, in some cases, to dangerously low levels."

Perhaps that's why Coke and Pepsi are switching to bottled water so strongly!
