I love how they try to tell the Coke company they need to put warning labels on their drinks, but really? 2.2 GALLONS a DAY? What should the warning be? "Hey! Don't be a dumbass!"?

Not just Bloomy.

There is a limit on caffeine ... the FDA allows so much in drinks, figuring nobody is going to drink 2+ gallons of it a day.

And how did the doctor know this? It likely skewed his results and conclusions I figure. The ME should know nothing of the history of the person he is examining. IMO .. medical science is not a science at all ..

I see an embryonic legislative proposal already: "It shall be a violation of this act for an individual to purchase more than 2 gallons of carbonated beverage in a 24 hour period. This act shall not apply to a law enforcement officer." I mean, if it saves one life right?

Medicine being a pseudoscience is a great passion of mine. And I'm in medicine. They're good at mechanical stuff, pretty bad at everything else. Don't take their drugs or shots! You've been warned.
