Cornelius says he drinks up to 3l cans of Coca-Cola a day and is now concerned about his health.

Drinking so much Coke is not healthy. Firstly, it contains a lot of sugar, so drinking too much means you consume far more sugar than you should. This can make you put on weight and increase your risk of developing diabetes.

It is also high in caffeine, whichstimulates the central nervous system.

The best thing to do is to rather cut it right out of your diet and drink water instead.
