Excessive consumption of too many sugary beverages within a short period of time has paralyzed a healthy man.
Doctors in Taiwan said the man from Kaohsiung, was admitted to the Yuan General Hospital on Sunday, July 19, 2015.
A doctor who treated the 30-year-old unidentified man, said that the rapid consumption of sugary drinks led to an increase in insulin levels and a subsequent drop in potassium levels, causing severe muscle weakness, reports World Wide Weird News.
It was learnt that the man who has not been diagnosed with any chronic diseases, drank several cans of cola which he topped up with some sweet snacks on an empty stomach and then subsequently went to sleep.
He woke up after three hours and discovered that he could no longer move his body and was rushed to a hospital.
Fortunately, he became fully recovered after receiving potassium during his three-day stay at the hospital.
Reports from the doctors said that he might have developed respiratory depression and eventually would have died if he had not received timely treatment.
