Woman drinks nothing but Coca Cola of almost two decades

A woman has drunk nothing but Coca-Cola for 16 years.

The 31-year-old woman put her life in danger after consuming two litres of the fizzy pop everyday, which forced her potassium levels to dramatically drop below average and her heart's electrical activity to go erratically fast.

Doctors advised the Cola-aholic to give up the calorific soft drink and one week later her potassium levels were back to normal.

A study researcher at Princess Grace Hospital Centre in Monaco stated: "One of the take-home messages is that cardiologists need to be aware of the connection between Cola consumption and potassium loss, and should ask patients found to have QT prolongation about beverage habits."
