Our Response: The rumor about the young woman dying in Pertamina Hospital, located in Jakarta, Indonesia, is not true. The Director General of Food and Drug Control within the Indonesia Health Department has investigated this rumor and found it to be false.
Coca-Cola does not cause kidney stones. An inadequate intake of fluids is a major contributing factor to the formation of kidney stones. Soft drinks provide a pleasant and refreshing way to consume part of a person's daily fluid requirement, thereby encouraging adequate fluid intake.
The vast majority of cases of kidney failure are caused by complications of diabetes or high blood pressure.
None of our beverages contain harmful substances. All our soft drinks are wholesome beverages manufactured in compliance with the laws of nearly 200 countries throughout the world where our products are marketed.
