"Coca-Cola is more available than fresh water."
_This is a problem._
It's a choice
Humans are their own problem.
@@pluto8404 wtf bro, maybe 70% of your body made from coke
This is more than a problem it is a crime. Even if these people became educated and rejected coke - what would they drink? I guess they could boil the river water but I don't know how that would work out.

When the shaman is healing the diabetic man with Coca-Cola, you know that you're doomed 💀
I believe you meant "shaman".

Me who's drinking cola rn: ok
As a diabetic that ignorance of hers makes me furious!
You are in wrong universe..

2 litres cola a day... Thats insanity
In many cities in Mexico it is common for people to drink up to 3 litres of cola per person per day.
I knew a guy, when I lived in Fl, who drank 2 L of mountain dew a day! Skinny, but had a mountain dew belly. He stopped drinking it, cold turkey 😮, and lost like 30lbs of stomach!
I also drink 2.5 at a time and above per day

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 .
I had a 3rd grade teacher like that. When I found out she died, I wasn't surprised at all. She did indeed live a long life.
had a teacher in middle school who told us how growing up in the 90s she would have minimum 3 cans of coke a day since childhood. had a heart attack in high school and now she's full on crunchy, doesn't touch anything processed
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.
A lot of things can be blamed. Having traveled a bit in Mexico and currently traveling around here at the moment I think the main issue is the lack of education in rural areas and the fact that sugar is highly addictive. When you can choose between buying tasteless, boring water and a flavorful soda it's very easy to pick the last option, especially if you have to put in a bigger effort to find water since soda is so easily available.
Edit: I just finished the video and the lady at 12:39 is a perfect example of the ignorance that is killing all these people. Also the fact that they drink soft drinks at the funeral of someone who died of diabetes is really sad to see.
Edit: I love Mexico, I'm addressing a problem existing in the country, not a problem about the people or culture:) viva Mexico cabrones
@@MarkyDoesLanguages point taken; thanks for sharing your experiences.
I think the bottom line is that there are multiple factors in play and any approach to address the problem has to include many strategies working together (education strategies, clean water access, and likely others).
Mike you are so correct teach them how to make the water safe to drink first
Coca cola also sell water, curious what the price for bottled water is versus the cost for bottled coke
@@MarkyDoesLanguages Not when coke is cheaper and more accessible than water.
As a kid I thought Sprite was a healthy alternative to coke because of it being clear and lemon flavor lol.
So true, I would hear that growing up.
Tomate un espray tiene menos azucar.
it does have less sugar and higher pH than coke which makes it less acidic and therefore relatively healthier
I have friends who think like this. 😭 like they literally frown upon my coca cola consumption but drink sprite. 🙄
Yep. When I was a kid, my grandma always told me that we shouldn't have dark soda like coke and pepsi, only the lighter colored ones like Sprite and Sierra Mist because they were "healthier"
@@pakahn2051 i drink sprite (and not coke) occasionally because it has no caffeine in it
This is indeed an extremely serious problem, not just in Mexico, worldwide. I know myself that once i cut on soda drinks alone (all of them, not just Cola) the effects were immediate. You feel better, you lose weight your body reacts better and if you combine it with more daily activity (sports, walking etc) you are in general prone to have less problems in your life and will live (much) longer. These are all scientific facts and the more you start taking them into account the better it is for everyone. Obviously you can live a very healthy life eliminate all the bad stuff and still can fall ill for other life threatening diseases, but the fact that you can eliminate so many of the other threats and vastly improve the probability of living a normal length of life should be reason enough to take it seriously. I just wish healthier food wouldn't be as expensive at it is, especially in poorer states you can understand why some people go for the much cheaper fast food meal instead of the healthier which is 2-3 times more expensive almost anywhere in the world. That is another story too..
Used to have soft drinks as a kid everyday cause fresh water was non existent before. We had to boil well water if we want to drink it but as I grew up, purified drinking water was booming and due to recent inflation the price of a 12oz coke is equivalent to 1 gallon of purified water. It wasn't a hard choice to make. Thank God it wasn't the other way around
Mexican: "This drink can heal you"
America: That's a good marketing.

In Colombia we use coca-cola to unclog drains.
Technically, Coca-Cola was first marketed as a medicine in the U.S. It was a temperance drink and patent medicine, like an OTC or basically “snake oil”.
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.
I was in mexico in 2011 and what i saw there left a very strange impression to me. It was crazy hot and there were people walking in the streets holding not bottles of water, but bottles of coca cola. Also there was huge coca cola bottles I've never seen before, they were like 6lt or something.
Thats crazy
3 liter is the biggest I have seen in Mexico…..but they are big.
I've only seen 3 liter bottles the last time I was in Mexico and even that looked very huge.. But 6 liter bottles.. That's A LOT of soda..
Not 6litres😮
It should be illegal for companies to control water sources
Definitely regulations, at the least.
The problem here in México, ITS the corruption, its endemic, even there is a say: " El que no tranza no avanza"...the one who does not steal/cheat can not get better...to be honest Is to be dumb :-(
We have the same problem in the United States. See article here: "Mountain Dew mouth in USA"
@@utubestalker.dotcom
I was just going to say the exact same thing.. however people could simply filter their own tap water at home.
That would be bad for business.

Cola was supposed to be non prescribed medicine,without the sugar anyway

My mother drink it whenever she has high blood pressure and for some reason it lower after. So we always have some around just in case.
It's sad
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.😂😂
Thanks for sharing!
When you live in poverty it gets pretty easy to just want simple things that make you feel good even though they are bad for you.
Finally a fucking comment that isn't classist in here.
It's sad to live in a country full of people who don't know any better.
It's what big corporate companies wanted
I like the original comment. It's simple and to the point.😮
There are millions of people who live good lives in Mexico. Mexico is not a country full of people in poverty like you Americans think.
"Clearly there's another pandemic here, and it's not Covid. It's diabetes."

The U.S. not only has the fattest people in the world also higher diabetes then Mexico, and there health is low compared to a lot of other country's, even central American has very low covid compare to the U.S., even compared to Mexico, another long string of other things and lies that American love to hear about Mexico and for your information Mexico is in 15 place in the world for covid deaths the U.S. is number 1 "IN THE WORLD", I think you need to worry about the U.S. not Mexico, Mexico can take care of itself
@@geraldarnoult I should've stated it more clearly as it looks like you misunderstood the quote that I quoted. I was trying to put an emphasis on the quote as although Covid-19 is rampant right now "worldwide" according to "official" data reports, there are still other diseases that people contract and die from that need our attention to combat against. Also, I'm not an American nor am I trying to look down on Mexico if that's what you are implying. I simply concluded what this documentary conveys. However, I do agree with you that USA doesn't fair any better when it comes to obesity and diabetes judging from how much unhealthy fast food and sugary and carbonated drinks they consume.
@@miloveify Agreed
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.
Totalmente de acuerdo, mucha gente piensa que hasta le da estatus y de verdad no puede comer sin tomar su cocacola, es triste ver tanta ignorancia.
yo creo que mexico es el pais qie mas consume coca cola aparte porque aqui esta de azucar de caña osea esta mas rica que la de Eua
Para todo un trago de coca 😅
Mi suegro padece del corazón, aveces vértigo entre otras cosas y cuando "siente que le baja la presion" o pasa un coraje manda comprar su coquita de las pequeñas a la tienda y creo es mental porque después de eso se siente "bien" .
También comen mucho pan Bimbo, que nadie compra bolillos de panadería?
Lo siento mucho yo tengo mi papá diabético por que tomaba mucho coca
Great doc. Very well presented. Sugar. The silent poison.

Really shows she lacks a proper education. It can really cause such ignorant thinking within a society.
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.
Same, even now we are only allowed to drink soda when it's a special occasion.
I was allowed one "fizzy drink" a week, with Sunday lunch as a treat. We got to choose: coke or lemonade (British lemonade which is clear and carbonated). I thought my parents were way too strict about it. Now I think they were right.
true, even any softdrink should be treated like this way. dont give childern what they want because it is cheap.
Coke zero is the answer
@@jrporter50 No! Just as bad or worse.
I stopped drinking soda all together because somebody gave me a sodastream machine and I realized how much sugar you have to put in once you carbonate the water to make it taste palatable. I just usaw squeeze drink flavorings without any coloring and it's fine... I think perhaps on the side of the bottle they could visually show how deep the sugar level was before they made the product into a liquid.
Its crazy mexico gets a 3litre coke bottle 👀
As a mexican living the u.s I can confirm that many mexicans even here constantly drink coke it's addicting and the fact that I'm just realizing this is crazy
i mean...coke has so much sugar. one can. it's pretty obvious. mexicans drink soda every day. I've realized this when i was 13. same for alcohol.
@@almaazul1511 yea ik it has sugar but the fact that it was so normal for me to see ppl drinking soda (coke) everyday I thought it was something every household did which is why I didn't question it but clearly they don't turns out drinking coke is most likely an addiction problem in many mexican/hispanic families households is what I meant
@@exos1bnetworth409 I see. I always sensed something wrong with drinking soda everyday. Bevause i always thought white people were very healthy people. You see more white people at stores that sell healthier stuff than Latinos. As a kid I noticed that. But it’s very sad that Latinos will keep doing this to their health : ( I still consume soda but after watching stuff like this it makes me want to take my health very seriously especially now that I’m still 19 and young.
@@almaazul1511 solution is to force coca cola to reduce sugar in it
If it wasn’t for 🇲🇽, drugs in the 🇺🇸 would be too expensive and ppl might have to go back to drinking and 🥤 so thank you 🇲🇽
Imagine having a diabetic hypoglycemia attack or seizure and going to a healer and she gives you coca cola. That definitely would help you feel better immediately. Sad tho that its also keeping them sick.
Same happens in the UK: people feel depressed from being given too much medication from their GP, then given a higher dose.
@@BarriosGroupie Same all over the world. I suffer from Depression & OCD too, doctor only gives me shitty medicines that does nothing but side effects. Lost hope in science a long time ago.

This shows you don’t have to be overweight to have diabetes! It’s about how you are eating and drinking. Has nothing to do with the weight itself.
It’s almost like how they replace tap water with Gatorade in “Idiocracy”… amazing how the aquifer water is used to make Coca Cola.
"This drink has healing properties." Allrighty then.

It's not good for your liver or kidneys.
@@RamonaHarringtonThe occasional soft drink is fine.

I was allowed to have one 12 oz can a week growing up.
@leedoss6905 it is no fun when your kidney is damaged, and you'll find out until it is too late.
It's one of the silent killers.
If youre addicted to coke... then slowly transition to the following drinks... consume them on daily basis so that you aqquire taste:
Fresh cold pressed juice (without sugar or less sugar... Add lots of ice to make it chilled and refreshing if you like)
Lemonade and lemon soda or Mint Virgin mojito
Fresh coco nut water
detox water with beetroot, mint, cucumber, etc
fresh sugarcane juice
and if you really wanna drink cola: then fill a glass with ice till the top and gently pout coke in it and sip slowly. it will chill and dilute the caffeine and sugars
"I've come to the region that drinks the most Coke, to find out why people are dying from too much sugar." Welp, looks like an open and shut case my dude.

Right. But the obvious solution: Diet Coke.
@@maxcovfefe Diet Coke still triggers high insulin response and doesn't really make much difference health wise.

“Diabetes is caused by anger and problems in family-“ Said that as she continues to pass a coke to a diabetic man. 💀 God the education system seems to be pretty messed up too
Poor health education is the root cause of all this
She knows exactly what she is doing. She is scamming these poor people
Chiapas is also one of the most illiterate states of Mexico due to it being the poorest. But I'm wiling to bet she says that 'cause selling coca cola is a big income for her
@@checkurs675 The same can be said of North America. Fresh water is available, but people here always chose slurpies, juice, soda, and coffee over water
@@WapajeaWalksOnWater fresh water is not freely available to everyone. many counties struggle with unsafe tap water, and those in poverty can struggle to keep their water running at all. Even some major cities struggle to provide clean drinking water, forcing people to either turn to bottled water if they can take the cost or finding alternatives. soda is remarkably cheaper than water, to say nothing of how addicting sugar can be. nobody chooses to be impoverished, or chooses to have limited options as to what they can buy depending on how much money they have, or what is immediately available to them. They can only choose how they survive with what little they have, even then they don't have many options.
I was rolling when I heard the woman at the beginning of the video say Coca-Cola has healing properties😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@ratherbfishing455 so the alternative is COKE? Lol. You know there is this thing called boiling the water. Rest of the world with non potable water has been doing it for 100s of years.
😂 she tried to cure the man who has diebetes with coke. She is on another level
Story of my own life lmao
@@kubectlgetpo Sometimes the alternative is alcohol. Since antiquity people who didn't have clean water drank a type of "watered down" wine. No, it wasn't good tasting. My husband way back several decades ago was a child in the Philippines (his father was transferred temporarily there for a job). They were in a very rural area and clean water was nowhere to be found. However, there was beer, so that's what his parents let him drink a little of.
So sad very sad to see this . 50 years young and dying young . I will stop buying coca cola and Im no longer going to drink fountain drinks. I also have family members with diabetes and I'm in my 50s I'm going to change my diet and try to make it healthier I'm healthy but still this really hit me very hard 😢
😢 totally agree with you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

IKR!!!! My dad has diabetes but I’ll try to not drink coke too often

My mom God bless here soul didn't let me drink Coke, I was only drinking apple juice with mineral water. The apple cider only.
I only got an coke once on my 11 birthday and I didn't like it.
Now I'm 74 and don't drink coffee an mineral water and a beer sometime.
Thanks Mom I miss you and still don't drink coke.
When I was a teenager, my mother used to buy me 2 liters of Pepsi and instant noodles every day. It was easier for her. Buying healthy food in post-Soviet Moscow was not a problem. It's just insane. The miracle is that I have never weighed more than 100 kilograms, did not get diabetes, and eventually got on the right track. It is a crime to put children on sugar drinks. *using google translate
It also causes kidney stones,I quit drinking after I got really sick in 2006
It caused typhus..
You lie!
I always fart really loudly after drinking more than a liter of coke. Smells horrible
I don't know your height but 100kg of weight is quite heavy
I always am so depressed when I see "Healers", they are just con artists.
This is insane, like that woman obsessed with Nukacola in Fallout.
Nukacola always looked so tasty in the game lol
What's up bro.
These are not Healers.
Yah bruh theses are fake healers there are real shaman that don’t advertise the people come to them to be cured they are most certainly not con artist usually don’t want money
sir that is not a healer
To those who are addicted to soft drinks: Find a brand of green tea you like, sweeten it with a sugar substitute, chill it, and serve it on the rocks. If you are craving a soft drink, buy some lemon seltzer water and sip it until your craving is satisfied. It's very refreshing and after some time, you won't miss the soft drinks anymore.
As a person who has traveled in Mexico since the 1970s I observed this transition first-hand walking down any street in any village or city. The level of unhealthy obese and overweight people has skyrocketed, the people of all ages with almost always a bottle of coke in their hand.... Even down to a 3 year old. Oh.... And the explosive spread of "Dulceria" stores in every town.
Seems like the real issue is lack of safe drinking water. Unfortunately soda is the alternative
Used to be beer for thousands of years. Sad that some governments fail their citizens basic needs.
There's not enough money in basic needs.
That may be the case, but it doesnt seem the issue. Coke also produces bottled water, and bottled water has the same logistics issues as getting all that Coke into those cities. Its that they would rather have Coke than water; otherwise they would have a bottled water epidemic. Water just isnt as good tasting as Coke; and many people in America, with an abundance of clean drinking water battle the same issue.
That's what I was thinking.
No, soda and its companies caused the degradation of the safest drinking water.
Coca Cola is heavily marketed in México, it's actually kind of interesting when you think about it. Mexicans are very family oriented people and coca cola has brand associations with closeness, sharing and togetherness among family and friends. I'm not saying it's good that Coca Cola is marketed so much there but that Mexican consumer habits and taste align exactly with how Coca Cola markets itself.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes ! 🙏 I'm aware the primary issue is lack of drinking water, if anyone has any ways of donating or maybe even sending packages of bottled water to these communities please let me know in the comments.
Great take on
It
Yea they definitely take advantage
Coca-Cola targeted heavily indigenous poor areas because of their lack of accessibility to clean drinking water . Now it’s become pet of their culture with all the heavy marketing.

I’m Mexican American & I have a Tia who wakes up a drinks coke first thing in the morning like nothing. She’s severely addicted
@Ed1798What? Drinking water first thing in the morning after a long night's rest is so refreshing maybe it's because I don't drink soda and havent done so in over 10 years

Well done documentary. It is very important to make changes in our eating habits, of course it's difficult for people with low resources, but there lies the importance of making a change from the government.
It angers me how large irresponsible corporations target the poorest and the most humble. I do like people who are trying to make a difference… I applaud their efforts
NGOS multinational companies answer to no nation. That's what happens when you turn America into a commercial zone.
How tf did they target them? Coca cola is international drink. Stop blaming companies for people's poor decisions.
Negative. Large corporations like Coca Cola targets anybody with or without money.
We all know Coca Cola is bad right???? So why do we Choose to drink the poison?
No Coca Cola or sodas in my house. Gee, I wonder why
@@salvadorreyes1337 It's a disparity in sophistication, these people are mostly idiots, they have no idea how dangerous soda is, the company has full knowledge.

"Cola is more available than fresh water"
Wait what?!
Well it's true. We live in weird world.
I think they means to say that it's more easily available than water.
It will be the norm someday if we let nestle do its thing.
Just like beer in medieval Germany. You can’t drink the water in Mexico without getting 🦠 🤮
Yes Corporate likes it that way I’m pretty sure their handing millions of dollars to the Mexican government to not have water
Good info thanks
Soda and sugar as a whole is definitely an epidemic especially in the US, I used to love cream soda, but it’s been over a year since giving it all up.
I now mostly do spring water, ginger beer, and coffee. Best of luck to anyone striving to quit🙏🏾
My aunt would always yell “GARBAGE” or “TRASH” when she would see a Coca Cola truck on the road ! Now I know why !!!
Lol, sounds like a cool auntie.
She was a Pepsi fan?
My mom call it "Veneno" (poison) but she like it a lot😄...personally, i never understood the hype about that kind of drinks, maybe im just lucky that i really prefer water than any other beverage
she should have said it to Pepsi and Moxie and all the other trucks also!
@ Meh same thing I said
as a Mexican-American, this videos hits different. my mother raised me on soda and coffee, and the addiction is real. still trying to break the habit in my early 30s before it’s too late. (down to one coffee a day + bottled water or sparkling water)
To my understanding, having 1 - 3 coffees a day is fine ( so long as you dont add sugars or anything ) Good on you for taking out the sugary drinks tho!
You can do it!!! Cheering on for you! Your progress is already moving
continue the good work
I was going to say... Whenever I crave for a sugar drink, sparkling water cuts it out. Most times it's just dehydration.
Same and sparkling water is a godsend for me too.
This is a water problem, as it is in rural America, where the consumption of soda and juices is very high as well.
On reservations for Native Americans, there is the same issue due to black of potable water.
And it would be interesting to see how this problem plays out in a city that has no drinkable water source for their city.
in the States, water is sold for the same price as soda. why doesn't Coke sell water there too?
I grew up drinking coke with breakfast , lunch and Dinner until my mom got diabetes and changed the whole family’s eating habits. She has been good and doesn’t need insulin, her mom and grandma had it but now that it hit her she broke cycle in time for us.
Oh I’m glad your Mama was able to do better for y’all. I know that was probably really hard in the beginning.💞
Awesome!!
Nice
I don't believe that people drink coke with their all 3 meals, until an exchange student from Germany live with my family. I'm shocked that he always accompany his food with coke
Im from germany and I never drink coke only water
"This drink has healing properties". I am not sure what to say, humanity is so weird sometimes it is mind blowing.
Ignorant* AND egocentric*
keep in mind as a Mexican a stomach ache are fixed by coke-cola or just any upset stomach so yes it does have some healing properties but its not necessarily medicine or have any healing other than that along with the exaggerated use its just not right
Keep in mind they are from an indigenous community where they have almost no resources let alone have access to education. Of course there is zero evidence to support that statement but they don’t know it and you can’t blame them especially when Coke has a large impact in all aspects to these communities

Well it helps sometimes. When you have hypoglycaemia for example.
Is it cold at least?
Soda more available than water in poor towns. I can't imagine. I love drinking water.
Water is my favourite drink ever
It’s so freaking delicious. It trips me out that there’s people who don’t like it… like… what?
It's the water quality, bottled drinks are made with cleaner water than available from taps or wells
Yes I absolutely adore water!
They have water in mexico you just cant drink from the tap on any city

I randomly came across this video. This is how my abuela died. I didn't know this was a huge issue.
I was just in Mexico last month and noticed all the Coke around. Never thought about how it might actually indicate a health problem...
I remember when I was a teen my older sister was addicted to Dr. Pepper. I went to her house and there was nothing in her fridge aside from soda. She had become borderline diabetic and asked me to help her. I stayed there and watched her shake on the couch like she was withdrawing from drugs. It was horrible. I got rid of all the soda in the house. She was sweating and everything. After she got through that her main drink of choice was water. She hardly ever drank soda again.
She had high blood sugar and you just stayed and watched her shake?? Good job buddy 🤦♂️🤦♂️

The marketing team at Coca-cola must be very proud of themselves.
Well, it's one of the most iconic brands ever. Ya got McDonalds, Ford, Chevy, Marlboro etc. Show the logo and everyone knows what you are talking about.

I lived in a place I'm Mexico in
mountains that was like a few scattered villages. After walking all day threw the mountain or working the corn or just anything it feels like a blessing to have a slightly warm Coke. These places bearlly have working refrigerators. People in the 1st world can't imagine. A 10 hour shift in the fields will get you 10$. It's unbelievable to the experience of places like the U.S.
also , if your feet start itching due to swelling or anything.. rub mint flavored tooth paste on them... it will releive the itch almost right away. takes the inflammation out.
I remember when people used to use Coca Cola to clean the rust off their car’s battery cables.
I remember that to. Plus sprite to clean the film off the wind shield.
And to clean toilets if I remember those viral videos from years ago

I live in Mexico and let me tell you, I’ve seen mothers put Coca-Cola in their toddlers feeding bottles, and I personally know people who drink coke for breakfast, lunch and dinner..... It really is concerning

Not going to lie, my mouth watered a little when I saw all those cold bottles of Coke in the shaman’s fridge. Haven’t touched a Coke in over 20 years, but I can still feel echoes of its addictive nature even now.

Here in Indonesia, even in remote areas, small children are strictly prohibited from drinking sweet drinks or sweet food from factories because we all understand the negative impacts. The mother in the video actually feeds her child with Coca-Cola. This is a matter of everyday life culture, not lectures or cutting the percentage of sugar content by Coca-Cola that is needed, but the involvement of adults in setting a good example is a simple key
Coca cola are not much popular in Indonesia. But other sweet drinks like coffees, iced tea, and milkshakes are increasingly popular lately.
You can easily find people selling those stuff every few meters on any road.

Mexican coke tastes better than American coke.
High Fructose corn syrup messes with your metabolism even more than sugar bc the fructose to glucose ratio is different. Both aren’t good for you, but if I had to pick the lesser of the two evils - I’m picking regular cane sugar. Some say the difference is negligible, but other studies show a difference.
And none of it is good for anyone especially in Mexico. I was watching a short story about a town in Mexico, where Donnie all the town has diabetes from drinking Coca-Cola all the time no water they drink Coke and their bodies are paying for it with diabetes and their dying, so drink up Mexican Coke drinkers.
The corporations that market their products while understanding the effects it has on these poor unknowing people need to be held accountable. Coke Zero will not solve the problem, but will create others. Stop buying products from this company and they will stop preying on people to line their pockets.

No disrespect to anyone, the dog running with the Coke bottle was hilarious.
😄😄😄
It was hilarious!
a very attractive, happy, fit lean dog, like the way people picture themselves when they are out of shape in their 50s. Lean, youthful and handsome like they were in their 20s. Everyone forgets what it felt like to fly up stairs, or feel pleasure running, and ride a bicycle, and have never ending time and energy for unproductive things. And could eat anything without ever gaining an ounce on their washboard stomach. But there was hunger, and insecurity about where to live, how to make money, and where to find love. They turned to coke instead, for a mometary high to help them overcome the spontaneous insecurity gnawing at their inner selves..
Even dog likes coke OMG!
Hell yeah it was. Comic relief……
The title should read the worlds deadly Coca Cola addiction
That's a WRONG grammar!
Very compelling documentary about Diabetes and Over Consumption of Sugar. We in America Complain of so many things and wish things were better but at least we do not have to contend with a basic need for clean water and proper sewage systems in our towns and citys. Those People truly jave a horrendous dilemma that has an easy answer however not a easy solution to the problem of a safe water and proper sewage system because of lack of funds to make it so.
I suddenly felt the need to drink lots of water after watching this
Coca-Cola*
Yes
No shit
Damn right 😆
Yeah me too...same thought after watching for 1 min😁
That shaman is really not helping anyone... "I didn't have any problems so diabetes can't come from eating too much sugar." there are other people out there lady. Just because you were lucky doesn't mean you can just deny the facts.
She’s probably never tested her sugar
Shamans like that are just grifters, she probably knows everything she says is bullshit but it makes her money
That poor old man. I wonder if he doesn't have any family. He should be going to the doctor instead.
It's not sugar causing the diabetes, it's hfcs 5. There is no sugar in Coca-Cola. I worked in the production side of Coca-Cola for 15 years in the US. 10 years ago hfcs 5 was already the number two cause of Diabetes Type 2 in this country. This is been proven scientifically time and time again over the years. High Fructose Corn Syrup 5. I won't drink it because I know what's in it
You can't ask people to stop denying facts, when their facts are different, they don't even have access to your facts, they are poor indigenous communities who don't trust government and "facts" as you say, which is funny because they tend to be marxist, yet cant stop drinking the biggest capitalist company, they are addicted to it by now.
Everyone's talking about individual people making choices, but it's the COMPANIES that need to be held accountable. They know people aren't good with self-control and they specifically prey on that. They're knowingly killing us. It shouldn't be legal to put a day's worth of sugar in one product
Exactly! 👏
This woman said Diabetes is caused by anger and problems in the family. Unfreakingbelievable.
I am 28 years old and live in Guadalajara Jalisco and thanks to this video I am quitting Coke today! I always feel tired and slugish, I need a change in my life and this video has inspired me to do so.

@@squirlboy250 Same Can I Get Coke
I view soda as I view a cake, it's not really that bad in small quantities, the problem is when you see it as an alternative to water. I started drinking just one 500ml soda a week, now I barely drink one a month, sometimes not even a drop in a couple of months. You just have to change your view on it.
Exactly, but people just love downing a ice cold coke after a amazing dinner or a crappy one🤷and it's scientifically proven that constant large consumption of sugar makes you stupid as in hard to focus and pay attention in class, that's why I hear some stores don't sell junk food to people under 19 in Mexico or Brazil, my memory isn't to good on where this was.

@@FuckinCrazybtch I knew it was Mexico
Valid point
you are the exception not the rule. these people are addicted to sugar.
All across México drinking water is very scarce. In some small towns due to government and soda producers corruption, it is worse because all available water is taken by companies like Coca-Cola. Therefore, people have no choice but to drink Coca-Cola.
I’m addicted to sugar too. It’s hard to stop.

Seeing how the shaman was so blind and ignorant about the situation might answer why coca cola is taking over the place, a poor place without education with a company taking advantage of it
Some shamans(not saying this one) just provide what the people want...they know they aren't actually selling cures or miracles. A lot of hoodoo is just rooted in cultural beliefs no matter how ignorant or false. If the people don't want to hear coke is bad for them ....he isn't gonna tell them that. That's not a winning business model.
Company can only do what the culture and government allows. Blaming the wrong people. Adults are accountable for their own actions.
It's not like the company is doing any false ads. It's the people who are ignorant enough to come up with nonsense, spread and the believe it. Coca cola is simply selling soda to those who want it.
I agree with thing you say 12 1999. Similar to the issue when asians see whites as Gods and run to date those men. Meanwhile ignoring the injust of hispanics and blacks. But too bad those guys dont truly like them, they are just with em because of submissiveness..once they even speak up for justice they get left. Aw just want live in those people's heaven which shows alot. Not all, but most maybe 90 percent. Go outside and look.

@Ryder häh? what the heck, there is literally no difference between sprite or coce. The amount the suger and thats all what is interesting here is the same. only the posphate is less in sprite but that doesnt make a big difference. sprite and coce kill because of the suger thats all
@@tdh7865 muha ha ha again such a "nothing knower" (probably a bad translation of german to english).my friend.. Firstly, the coffine in coca cola makes NO DIFFERECE WHATSOEVER for the healthyness of sprite and coce in comparision. There is only an extreme low amount of coffine in coca cola. 8mg per 100ml! 8 mg! A coffe contains 50 mg per 100ml. And even coffee is healthy and everybody should 8 cops of it every day. And even if you drink 3 cans of it every day its still healthy. and even if it would not be even healthy, it would have had no relevance whatsoever in comparision to the effect of the extreme amount of sugar in sprite and cola. And that you talk about the addictiveness of coffeine, is the most absurd thing of all. The addictiveness of coffeine is in comparision to any other addictive stuff we know, nearly not existing. Even after 10 yeras of 3 cans of coffee. And even if it would be addictive, what is not the case in any relevant sense of the world ! it is great, because coffeine is eitherway healthy and so it makes you drink healthy drinks more often. (by the way sugar is also 100 times more addictive than coffeine xd) And even if it would be addictive (nearly not the case) and unhealthy (opposite is true), it wouldnt matter in the slightest in comparision to the effects of 11 g suger per 100 ml. to even think about the effects of 8 mg coffeine per 100ml cola as an argument for sprite is better than cola, is laughtable and stunning
people today know NOTHING about what they consume their hole day, how is that possible to be so IGNORANT about soft drinks.
One can or bottle won't hurt but it's ppl that drink it on the regular
Yeah I saw this too.They have those 'retornable' litter bottles lying around.
