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.
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
@@MarkyTeriyakiShorts 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).
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 .
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
Or you can realize it's none of your business. Quit trying to get people to live under your standards, you're a nobody that saw a video, now you feel entitled.

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
@@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
@@exos1bnetworth 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.
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
Believe it or not but our stomachs aren't actually made from cement. Coke has a pH of 2.5 (anything below a pH 7 is acidic, the lower the number, the stronger the acid), so it's pretty acidic. But the acid in your stomach has a pH of 1. So it's far more acidic than coke. The acid and sugar will damage your teeth if you're not careful and coke is terrible for you in plenty of other ways, but damaging your stomach by adding a weaker acid to what it is used to is not something you need to worry about. The acid is not the most damaging thing about it.
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.
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"
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!
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

Thankfully in India, water is still the principal drink since the weather is so hot and humid, we can't survive without water. Soft drinks are available still people prefer water.
That's true..still India specially northindia have addiction of street food..fried crispy beautiful...that too make same bad health impact like cococola...but not too much like this ..this is cococola addiction.. Philippines also same way
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.
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.
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.

“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
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.
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.😂😂
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”.

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.

@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
yes or tea ... they need tea culture. ı have been many countşres I n latin America. and this soda thing is big problem . coccola or some other brand. many things thy eat will also taste better with any type of tea. many coffee producers do not even drink coffee.
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.
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
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!
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 😢

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
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.
Ya Caffeine is a drug, same thing with coffee. If I go more then 24 hours without a coffee I get physically sick. Worst headaches, no energy, lethargic. If I go 48 hours I will start puking
This is so true. The times I visited my family in Mexico, there had to be a Coca-Cola for every single meal. I was in heaven because my parents rarely bought me soda, but now as an adult I’m aware of the dangers of it’s consumption.
I am half mexican half american but holy fuck they act like kids. 20:10 no shame at all makes me want to pay the truck driver to take it back or else ill ruin the product.
@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
As a Mexican American, this video is so relateable and truly hurts my heart. Can't tell you how many family members I've lost way too early to diabetes.
My grandfather died from diabetes. I remember as a kid going to visit every summer and the only thing he drank was coke/Pepsi. There was always a 2 liter at the dinner table, but as a kid I never realized the damage he was doing to himself. He would always send my brother, my cousins and I to the store to buy soda. They amputated both of his legs due to gangrene and shortly after his kidneys failed. I miss my grandpa, so much. Sugar is an addiction, I wish more people would realize that…
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
@@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.
@@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.
I am Mexican and indeed Coca Cola is a problem here, in my case just with the pandemic I managed to stop my addiction of drinking soda every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You have subscribed yourself to the Anti-Coke religion man... I have been in Mexico many times, in the first place the government requires all drink brands to imprint a black octagonal kind of seal that clearly says "excess of sugar" in the bottle or can, in the second place you can buy the no-sugar, there are many other ways to drink drinks that have less or no sugar. To blame Coke for everything is a fanatical "religion". I do not subscribe to it.
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.
My great aunt lived till 103yrs and drank 1 stout beer and cola everyday ... she also smoked 1/2 cigar in the evenings... but she didn't eat bread, rice or pasta.
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.
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.
I had a patient come in the hospital with high blood sugar. When we asked him if he had anything to drink today, he said just a 2 liter soda, but it was diet. I used to work in restaurants and Americans drink diet soda like water. I don’t think they understand that diet soda still causes insulin resistance and diabetes.
yep, i had to kick diet energy drinks too, especially when i found out i was drinking splenda. artificial sweetener and sugar might as well be the same thing, but the the splenda is way worse.
i used to have a teacher who is apparently from USA for native english speaker needs at my school. When i visit her house i saw several big bottle of coca cola or zero diet coca cola in her fridge and its outside. I was a teenager back at that time in 2000s and it makes me wonder of how US people cant living without coca cola.
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.
@@bigred0079 just keep your country in survival mode paying them less than they need to surviva = lots of anxiety and stress = people having trauma = eating food (fast dopamine release/ feeling happy) = health problems = mortality control/health care = MONEY
YES! just like the drug manufacturers in this country who dispense pain killers for any sort of pain. MARKETING LIES, bribing officials in Mexico is a Fact!
This part of the culture. I live in the US and when I visit one of my aunts, the first things she offers me is a Coke, I instead ask her for water and EACH time she seems surpriced I prefer water. She has been living in the US for more than 40 year and says she find that offering water to be too little as if coke is a better option. When we sit to eat a meal, I am the only one drinking water, I want to model the right behavior. Yes, she is diabetic.
Yes. And she has full access to clean water. The issue is soda is addictive. I remember drinking it all day as a child - I haven’t had it in ages till never drink it again
It's so sad, I'm from San Cristóbal and the video manage to explain the situation here with precision. I know many people who are diabetics but they simply don't care about their health and continue drinking Coca-Cola. Then they wonder why "all of a sudden" they're in the hospital.
Here on Brazil is the same thing. I remember one of my sister's birthday party with more than 25 people, my cousin was judged a lot for drinking water instead of coke. When I traveled to Rio to see some relatives, this time I was the one judged. They offered me soda on each and every meal I declined. It was a shock to them. They asked my a lot of questions regarding it and continue offering me anyway.
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
As a Mexican in the US, I hardly remember drinking anything that didn't have sugar growing up. Drinking plain water would literally make me gag. Now as an adult I drink mostly water and I can't have too much sugar in my fluids because I feel disgusted after. Sugary drinks really are addictive and a huge part of this culture, a part that we need to do away with.
Nothing wrong with kids and sugary drinks but it's all about moderation. One of those little sodas a few times a week is not gonna cause diabetes. I worked with a overweight guy in his 50's and we worked outside in Texas heat and all he drank was Mountain Dew all day no water. Dude was starting to have all kinds of health problems but he kept chugging that Dew.
@@Brandon68plus1 Exactly,The things is when I comes to soda drinking issue is that we don't know how many soda a individual drinking at home when we don't see them in public.
Growing up with Mexican parents soda was something that was always in my household I grew up only drinking coke sprite etc I would drink up to 3-4 cans a day and would never ever drink water imagine how bad that was for me being a kid.. up until I had my son at 20 I promised myself I would stop the addiction for him to show him a better life and here I am today 4 years (my sons age) without having a drink of soda and my body finally feels good I don’t get any back pain or headaches anymore I only drink water now but I did it for him bc I can’t be a hypocrite not wanting him to drink sodas and me showing him different. It’s our job as parents to show our kids to eat good.
I don't understand how people drink more soda than water. I'm glad you're trying to cut that unhealthy lifestyles short. Don't be afraid to live longer for your kids and loves one..
It's amazing how many people will choose to do better for other people, but not for themselves. Glad you're at least doing it for your son bc it sounds like without him, you'd still be slowly killing yourself! Stay structured and disciplined!
Right, the poor elderly man thinks his been healed, where do you get this stuff? there's water all over Mexico, that not every tiny town water stores also, even alkaline water, Mexico is 15 place for death from Covid, the U.S. is number 1, a lot more process garbage in the U.S. and higher rates of diabetes then in Mexico
In 189os they marketed cigarettes for asthma. In 1950s Dr. were advertising Camel cigarettes for big Pharma. Nothing they put before us is to benefit us. The elect race continues to trust the elite race because people believe their people must have the same skin as them.
As someone from Mexico who has a friend who drinks more coca-cola than water, this is so sad I'm always telling her how dangerous it is but she always excuses herself with "it's fine, I haven't had any problems" I guess it's kinda hard for her to see the problem by herself but it kinda makes me frustrated, how I wish she would listen
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.
I stopped drinking soda about 7 years ago and let me tell you that I used to drink that poison on the daily as a child, even to the point of drinking close to a 2 -liters a day. One of the best decision that I have ever made in my life.
@@jasminehernandez1976 I stopped drinking it too. It helped me reduce bloating, burping and stomachaches, my sugar levels also stabilized. It’s the best decision you can take
Yesss ♡♡♡ actually not just sodas but junk food as a whole- like fast food, chips or crisps- if everybody would cut that out from daily diet (just eat it less or once a blue moon)- and change to a better balance diet- you'll see a great difference from skin down to energy :) What we eat is what our skin and outer physical reflects ♡ Coz our body was not design to eat those kind of food. Our body is like a plant ♡♡♡ feed nutrition- ull see how our body's maximum potential works :3
I was a serious Pepsi addict when I was in high school. I quit in college and it was the best decision ever! I rarely drink soda now but when I do it's just a few sips and it makes me feel Terrible!!
So let me get this straight… the son’s blood sugar level was 273 which absolutely shocked me as someone who has lived with people managing diabetes….but his mother’s blood sugar level was 336!? Good Lord and she’s just chillin like nothing
@@ahmeterwinog6295 No she knows what she is doing is WRONG and that these drinks don't do SHlT, but she does it anyways because she needs the MONEY. It's like the Drug Dealers. They know what they are doing is ILLEGAL, but they do it anyways, because they NEED THE MONEY... lol... Get my point.
Yes! And the prb with drinking is that whenever u go out with friends as a non drinker they see u as an alien and try to force it on you. Such a sick mentality
I used to drink Coke a lot, 2L bottle a day until I started realizing that I was weaker and more tired than usual, I then stopped for the sake of my health. This drink is really addictive
Soda period is addictive.. It's the caffeine , sugar & sodium people's body's crave.. Doesn't matter if it's Coke, Pepsi, Mntn Dew, All the same, different flavoring & colors.. And some have diff amounts of sugars & Caffeine. Mntn dew is the highest if you exclude energy type drinks.. But yea, between caffeine, sugar and all the syrup in sodas. It'll definitely slow you down & have your body feeling like trash after a while if you drink allot.. Just like eating a bunch of junk food
I live in Mexico City and I see many people walking around with the 2 liter bottles everywhere I go. This video is the truth and it is sad and alarming.
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.
I'm mexican and I'm so grateful that all my family only granted kids to drink Coca-Cola at special occasions. Now that I'm an adult I can see some of my peers have a serious addiction to it, ironically, my grandfather always consume a 3 lts bottle everyday, we think he might started develop diabetes but hasn't said a word.
When I was a child I was definitely addicted to coke and other sugary drinks but now I can only handle a little bit of it. I would drink like a couple sips and that’ll be the end of that.
It's hilarious to see that the lady presenting coca cola as the cure for diabetes after her ritual, and also lastly the people drinking soft drink which made out of coca cola after funeral which occured due to diabetes 😅😂
As a Mexican myself, all this is super true. All my family members prefer coke and they actually say to me that they don't feel right without having a can a day. I still drink soda also, but will never catch up to the amount they drink daily, it's sad.
I love how my mom and grandma simply said stuff like fastfood, coke and snacks give you cancer to scared me from eating them when I was younger. As kids you might dislike it but as adults you'll appreciate it
This is trueee! Because sugar activates cancer cells and free radicals, these things eat on sugary sweet things. In order to prevent it- just have balance intake of sugar per day :) Smart choice ♡

@@sneedmando186 ive worked with my hands also and soda has never crossed my mind as my choice for working in the 100° sun its powerade at most but always has triple the amount in water
It is for them , and I say that because as a kid growing up in such community it’s in every little corner store together with chips there is no fruit and all other Drinks sold are as bad because they are made by Coca Cola as well or came a same sugar shit
@jizzle dizzle doesn't matter. Do you know how many grams are in US coca cola 20 ounce? Over 35 grams of sugar. literally a quarter of the bottle is sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Stop drinking soda daily, asap
It's really sad that soda is a safer alternative than water. Like, their water is full of dookie and they have no available fresh water, which is super super messed up.
Yep, even sadder when you get to know that Coca Cola and Heineken control most of Mexico's underground water to make bottled water, that costs as much as gasoline, while Mexico is suffering their worst drought in 30 years and the population is getting desperate but now the only affordable water source they have is the same bottled water that the companies are selling.

Treating yourself to 1 or few sodas a week won't do anything to you. It's when you drink at least 1 (or more) sodas every single *day* is when it starts to. Same with daily smoking, alcohol drinking, etc, etc. Just having 1 or a few over the course of an *entire week* every week is completely fine and harmless to you. As the saying goes: *Moderation is key.*
I was born in Mexico but I was born in a border town. When I was 10 I moved to the Us and became very Americanized. When I met my now-husband , he took me to meet his family at Delicias, Chihuahua. I was shocked that his family did not drink water and even babies were given Coca Cola in their bottles. Now that I have a toddler, I have been very intentional about breaking those generational curses.
My buddy who operates a forklift..stated you can feel the forklift work harder when lifting a pallet of regular coke then when lifting a pallet of diet coke. SUGAR
This is really interesting, the government actually recognizes our problem with sugar drinks and high sodium snacks like Doritos and Lay's. Mexico's government actually tried a "strategy" of putting "sellos" (those little black hexagons you can see in the products shown) that have "excess sugar" "excess calories" "excess sodium" etc. written in them to try and slow down the sells of these products or motivate the industry into looking for healthier recipes. And we have yet to investigate if it's really working. But the big problem here is that in communities where access to education, food security and even fresh water are never fulfilled you can not ask a 35 y.o artisan man who can't read,let alone understand the concepts of sodium, sugar and calories, to look into better options, he will go for what he knows and what he can afford and thats the biggest difficulty in tackling a lot, if not most, of México's biggest and most dangerous problems:( I think our government should turn its focus to these gigantic companies and hold them accountable for what they're doing, but they're too powerful and rich to ever have consequences to their actions.
If someone thinks coke is healthier than water then they deserve to die 💯 thats called removing the weakest link...I understand the lack of education but water is Life, you can see it all thru Nature...if they don't make that a priority, that's on them...there's alot of ppl in Mexico...too bad they can't all work together
The seals (I mean there is an english word for sellos lol) its not a working strategy because you the authorities fail to treat its consumers like people with agency and some sort of brains inside their heads. Are you gonna sit there and argue MOST people dont know Coke and chips are fattening? I would differ with you all year long. It kills me that we never agree to look at the other side of the equation, not everything is evil companies puting out evil products. For every million cokes sold there is a million human beings who made the concious choice to drink one, with or without seals or ingredients. It bothers me to hear people speak about mexicans like we are stupid, no one is pointing a gun to their heads. So please stop with this FOR YOUR OWN GOOD FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHA YOU DO, condescending crap.
Politics and corruption. This problem will never be solved by governments. It will only be solved from the grass roots up. Secularly evangelize the word of a healthy diet, mostly whole plants, and work to ensure plenty of clean water is available. We know how to eliminate diabetes. Let’s do it.
When I was little my grandpa use to go to Juarez to get coca cola all the time. It was way cheaper than water. But thankfully when he became legal in the united States he switched to mostly water. He lived to be 92 years old!
One issue that this doc should have mentioned is that most of these Mexicans are genetically indigenous/native peoples, who biologically have more difficulty processing sugar. Native Americans in the United States have sky-high rates of diabetes as well.
When I was a kid in Mexico, we got our water from underground, but we still boiled it as a precaution to eliminate pathogens. It's a tedious job, but you have to boil a big pot everyday to keep your family safe and that's what these people have to do. I blame the government for not spending a little money to educate them properly in how to purify water.
That’s correct. Maybe politicians there are corrupt. Doesn’t thinking for the community future always filling in their own pockets. No love for their own city and no love for their native land.
@@comphysync9084 When the average IQ is 80 something no one thinks spending a few pesos on a UV water treatment plant is a waste of money that could be better spent on mansions and bitches.
Coming from Mexico, I heard so many people mention how coca cola has so many healing properties when in reality people have just become addicted to Coca Cola on a daily basis since childhood. An example of this beliefs is when eating foods high in fats or cooked with lots of oil such as a mexican dish called "mole", they say that Coke helps digest the food in a more smoother way. This type of traditions or beliefs create really bad eating habits that sadly are already engraved in many Mexican families.
Fat don't make you fat, curbs, starch and sugar does, the worse fats which are toxic are seed oils vegetables oil, people fry there foods in, its trans-fat and hydrogenated
Well it’s basically soda so it does make you feel lighter. That doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful though, and then it’s not like ppl only consume it after eating mole

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.

@@MarkyTeriyakiShorts 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).

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
Thanks for sharing this.
Believe it or not but our stomachs aren't actually made from cement. Coke has a pH of 2.5 (anything below a pH 7 is acidic, the lower the number, the stronger the acid), so it's pretty acidic. But the acid in your stomach has a pH of 1. So it's far more acidic than coke.
The acid and sugar will damage your teeth if you're not careful and coke is terrible for you in plenty of other ways, but damaging your stomach by adding a weaker acid to what it is used to is not something you need to worry about. The acid is not the most damaging thing about it.
@@violet7773 This, the problem isn't the pH, but the caffeine and sugar.
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.

@takebacktheholyland9306 I truly believe that bad water is a driving factor behind Mexico's cola addictions.
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.

@@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.

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

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.
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.

My grandfather died from diabetes. I remember as a kid going to visit every summer and the only thing he drank was coke/Pepsi. There was always a 2 liter at the dinner table, but as a kid I never realized the damage he was doing to himself. He would always send my brother, my cousins and I to the store to buy soda. They amputated both of his legs due to gangrene and shortly after his kidneys failed. I miss my grandpa, so much.

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.

You have subscribed yourself to the Anti-Coke religion man...
I have been in Mexico many times, in the first place the government requires all drink brands to imprint a black octagonal kind of seal that clearly says "excess of sugar" in the bottle or can, in the second place you can buy the no-sugar, there are many other ways to drink drinks that have less or no sugar. To blame Coke for everything is a fanatical "religion". I do not subscribe to it.
Keep going! There are healthier alternatives. Health is expensive..

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.
I had a patient come in the hospital with high blood sugar. When we asked him if he had anything to drink today, he said just a 2 liter soda, but it was diet. I used to work in restaurants and Americans drink diet soda like water. I don’t think they understand that diet soda still causes insulin resistance and diabetes.

This part of the culture. I live in the US and when I visit one of my aunts, the first things she offers me is a Coke, I instead ask her for water and EACH time she seems surpriced I prefer water. She has been living in the US for more than 40 year and says she find that offering water to be too little as if coke is a better option. When we sit to eat a meal, I am the only one drinking water, I want to model the right behavior.
Yes, she is diabetic.
Ooh
This is... sad(?)
Yes. And she has full access to clean water. The issue is soda is addictive. I remember drinking it all day as a child - I haven’t had it in ages till never drink it again
It's so sad, I'm from San Cristóbal and the video manage to explain the situation here with precision. I know many people who are diabetics but they simply don't care about their health and continue drinking Coca-Cola. Then they wonder why "all of a sudden" they're in the hospital.
Here on Brazil is the same thing. I remember one of my sister's birthday party with more than 25 people, my cousin was judged a lot for drinking water instead of coke. When I traveled to Rio to see some relatives, this time I was the one judged. They offered me soda on each and every meal I declined. It was a shock to them. They asked my a lot of questions regarding it and continue offering me anyway.
"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

As a Mexican in the US, I hardly remember drinking anything that didn't have sugar growing up. Drinking plain water would literally make me gag. Now as an adult I drink mostly water and I can't have too much sugar in my fluids because I feel disgusted after. Sugary drinks really are addictive and a huge part of this culture, a part that we need to do away with.
I hope people like you try to educate people back there in the smallest way possible since you have experienced things firsthand. Just a request.
Wow, Thats crazy
Nothing wrong with kids and sugary drinks but it's all about moderation. One of those little sodas a few times a week is not gonna cause diabetes. I worked with a overweight guy in his 50's and we worked outside in Texas heat and all he drank was Mountain Dew all day no water. Dude was starting to have all kinds of health problems but he kept chugging that Dew.

Growing up with Mexican parents soda was something that was always in my household I grew up only drinking coke sprite etc I would drink up to 3-4 cans a day and would never ever drink water imagine how bad that was for me being a kid.. up until I had my son at 20 I promised myself I would stop the addiction for him to show him a better life and here I am today 4 years (my sons age) without having a drink of soda and my body finally feels good I don’t get any back pain or headaches anymore I only drink water now but I did it for him bc I can’t be a hypocrite not wanting him to drink sodas and me showing him different.

I was born in Mexico but I was born in a border town. When I was 10 I moved to the Us and became very Americanized. When I met my now-husband , he took me to meet his family at Delicias, Chihuahua. I was shocked that his family did not drink water and even babies were given Coca Cola in their bottles. Now that I have a toddler, I have been very intentional about breaking those generational curses.
BABIES?!!!! Wtfffff
Poor baby 😭😭
my mother regularly bottle fed me sugar water when I was a baby if there was no formula.
That’s messed up Imfao
Even Mexicans north of the border indulge in coca as well.
I feel that the gringos have Mexico in a very wrong idea 🙄🙄🙄
My buddy who operates a forklift..stated you can feel the forklift work harder when lifting a pallet of regular coke then when lifting a pallet of diet coke. SUGAR
This is really interesting, the government actually recognizes our problem with sugar drinks and high sodium snacks like Doritos and Lay's. Mexico's government actually tried a "strategy" of putting "sellos" (those little black hexagons you can see in the products shown) that have "excess sugar" "excess calories" "excess sodium" etc. written in them to try and slow down the sells of these products or motivate the industry into looking for healthier recipes. And we have yet to investigate if it's really working. But the big problem here is that in communities where access to education, food security and even fresh water are never fulfilled you can not ask a 35 y.o artisan man who can't read,let alone understand the concepts of sodium, sugar and calories, to look into better options, he will go for what he knows and what he can afford and thats the biggest difficulty in tackling a lot, if not most, of México's biggest and most dangerous problems:( I think our government should turn its focus to these gigantic companies and hold them accountable for what they're doing, but they're too powerful and rich to ever have consequences to their actions.
Lobbyist my friend they own the politicians. We don't hold the ones with power accountable
If someone thinks coke is healthier than water then they deserve to die 💯 thats called removing the weakest link...I understand the lack of education but water is Life, you can see it all thru Nature...if they don't make that a priority, that's on them...there's alot of ppl in Mexico...too bad they can't all work together
The seals (I mean there is an english word for sellos lol) its not a working strategy because you the authorities fail to treat its consumers like people with agency and some sort of brains inside their heads. Are you gonna sit there and argue MOST people dont know Coke and chips are fattening? I would differ with you all year long. It kills me that we never agree to look at the other side of the equation, not everything is evil companies puting out evil products. For every million cokes sold there is a million human beings who made the concious choice to drink one, with or without seals or ingredients. It bothers me to hear people speak about mexicans like we are stupid, no one is pointing a gun to their heads. So please stop with this FOR YOUR OWN GOOD FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHA YOU DO, condescending crap.
People that have the most access to clean water, fresh food and can afford to buy it are the healthiest
Politics and corruption. This problem will never be solved by governments. It will only be solved from the grass roots up. Secularly evangelize the word of a healthy diet, mostly whole plants, and work to ensure plenty of clean water is available. We know how to eliminate diabetes. Let’s do it.
Using Coca Cola in a Shaman Ritual is some real Fallout Shit 🤣
Sometimes I’ll have a coke and sacrifice a chicken 🐓
Shieeet
Well they thought Coca Cola = coca plant
naaaa.... I think all these Shamans are getting Kickback from Coca Cola company... I am sure of it... lol...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Using Coca-Cola to treat diabetes is like using whiskey to treat alcoholism.
When I was little my grandpa use to go to Juarez to get coca cola all the time. It was way cheaper than water. But thankfully when he became legal in the united States he switched to mostly water. He lived to be 92 years old!
See, evidence that Coca-Cola makes you live a long time! Imagine how many more years he would’ve lived had he not stopped drinking it earlier?
@@MrTangent 😆😂
These drinks are poison to humans body’s water is natural that what our body need and it made of water
My grandma never drinks these stuff only water her whole life she live up to 105
@@masterk5372 How much did Big Water pay you to say this untrue stuff?
Coke / pepsi and other chemical drinks is a global problem
One issue that this doc should have mentioned is that most of these Mexicans are genetically indigenous/native peoples, who biologically have more difficulty processing sugar. Native Americans in the United States have sky-high rates of diabetes as well.
Like Asians
@@rodrozil6544 no its just a native american thing asians are the same as caucasians
@@smallsay9958 wait.... what? Did you just call asians white?
@@papasfritas6071 its understood the sentence implies "in their digestive similarities"
@@papasfritas6071 no im saying there the same as white people and they can handle sugar the same but native americans cant.
When I was a kid in Mexico, we got our water from underground, but we still boiled it as a precaution to eliminate pathogens. It's a tedious job, but you have to boil a big pot everyday to keep your family safe and that's what these people have to do. I blame the government for not spending a little money to educate them properly in how to purify water.
That’s correct. Maybe politicians there are corrupt. Doesn’t thinking for the community future always filling in their own pockets. No love for their own city and no love for their native land.
Big corporations run the govs
@@comphysync9084 When the average IQ is 80 something no one thinks spending a few pesos on a UV water treatment plant is a waste of money that could be better spent on mansions and bitches.
If America had helped Mexico , with it's water system not fizzy drinks
The government doesn't have to do anything. They should but the difference between you and these people is the will.
Coming from Mexico, I heard so many people mention how coca cola has so many healing properties when in reality people have just become addicted to Coca Cola on a daily basis since childhood. An example of this beliefs is when eating foods high in fats or cooked with lots of oil such as a mexican dish called "mole", they say that Coke helps digest the food in a more smoother way. This type of traditions or beliefs create really bad eating habits that sadly are already engraved in many Mexican families.
Fat don't make you fat, curbs, starch and sugar does, the worse fats which are toxic are seed oils vegetables oil, people fry there foods in, its trans-fat and hydrogenated
It’s engrained in the culture
Well it’s basically soda so it does make you feel lighter. That doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful though, and then it’s not like ppl only consume it after eating mole
@@kaylamendoza3059 that was not ingrained in there culture, Coke was not in Mexico a 100 years ago
Mexico looks like a happy place.. seriously
5:27 To speak that negative in front of him is disgusting behavior
Despite what people’s opinions are, Cristiano Ronaldo was right when he pushed the cokes off to the side
Indeed, Tom Brady called soda “poison” as well…
Absolutely
@Jump Countaz like I said..
Indeed... But many people don't see what the importance meaning from his actions .
