It was then that the social media medic honed in on another threat he’s given the nickname ‘liquid death’.
You might be picturing high-volume liquors or spicy shots like tequila – but according to Dr London, it’s not just boozy bevs that can have a detrimental impact on a person’s wellbeing.
It’s soft – or fizzy – drinks.
“Just don’t drink them. Period. Done,” he said.
Not long after posting his warning on Instagram, London spoke to TODAY, where he admitted the eerie nickname he’s given to sugary, carbonated drinks was done in a bid to draw further attention to deeper issues.
“I think that soft drinks are just a scourge in our society, and so I was really trying to get some attention,” he explained. “Obviously, high-calorie soft drinks and ingesting a lot of calories that people don’t realise they’re getting with the sugar-based soft drinks is a big no-no.”
