  • "Coca-Cola is more available than fresh water." This is a problem.
  • When the shaman is healing the diabetic man with Coca-Cola, you know that you're doomed 💀

    My best friend here in the UK , a mother of 5, ONLY drinks Coca-Cola . Nothing else absolutely nothing else . She drinks about six cans a day . Won't let her kids touch the stuff and feeds them really healthy home cooked food . I'm going to send her this video .

    One thing that needs to be stressed: this isn't just a problem of people drinking lots of soda because they like soda. This is a problem of people drinking soda because, for many, its all they have that's safe. This needs to be viewed as a water problem, not just a soda problem.
  • 1980: "There will be flying cars in the future." 2021: "Coca cola is a healing drink."

    I was rolling when I heard the woman at the beginning of the video say Coca-Cola has healing properties😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    When I visited my relatives in Sonora, they had the 3 liter Coke bottle on the table at breakfast pouring me a big glass?? I was like whoa…way too early for Coke.😂😂

    The irony that the “healing shaman” lady is really just helping kill people faster. I can’t. ☠️
  • Soda is the one drink that's completely engineered for addiction... It's laced with sugar for the craving, caffeine for the boost, carbonation for texture, color for aesthetics. The sugar makes you desire it again but also gives you a crash, the caffeine's 2nd prong is to dehydrate you to make you thirsty again and now, you want more soda to give fulfill the craving and to undo the crash and to quench your thirst which full circle makes you thirsty, low energy and desiring again. Other than that, it serves absolutely no purpose other than to be consumed. I doesn't fill you up because (again with the caffeine) you urinate it right back out, it doesn't provide any nutrients and it doesn't quench your thirst.
  • As a kid I thought Sprite was a healthy alternative to coke because of it being clear and lemon flavor lol.
  • Esto es muy preocupante, soy mexicana y normalmente las familias tienen siempre en su refrigerador Coca Cola, hay una adicción fuerte entre todos los mexicanos pero mientras mas se consume esa empresa extrae mucha más agua y curiosamente hay muchas sequias en el país últimamente.

    Stupid question, but can't they just drink coke zero or diet sodas?
  • @paintup46
    My family always treated soda like beer or wine etc. Just one on a special occasion or special dinner. So glad they normalized that for me.

    "Clearly there's another pandemic here, and it's not Covid. It's diabetes." Sums up the whole video well.
  • One of the most basic and honest things I've ever heard was that a man working with Amish farmers in the field asked one of them if they wanted to try Coca-cola and the farmer was like No way, not because he was Amish, but he went on to pour some of it on the cement walk way and said look where I poured that coke out. Look at it in a couple hours, and a couple hours later the cement began to dissolve and eroded the surface a great deal to a point where it was rough to the touch. Then he asked why would you put that in your body, it literally melts stone. What does it do to your stomach. It doesnt have healing properties, if anything it has extreme toxicity and extremely high acidity
  • It should be illegal for companies to control water sources
