I'd been off Coke for years, and it was an unstoppable craving through 
both pregnancy, and early breastfeeding!  (I can hear several of you 
screaming... although I am finally back off it. Not so chocolate... I'm 
one of the few women I know who put on weight from breastfeeding! )

When we got Janipher Maseko out of Yarl's Wood Detention Centre, the 
social worker who'd been assigned to settle her into emergency 
accommodation over the weekend, went out to buy essential provisions, 
and returned with a massive bottle of Coca Cola "to make her milk 
good".  (Janipher was Ugandan, Social Worker South African).

Hot Coke, (it had to be Coca Cola, we have red Cola at home too. the 
favourite to stand in for Holy Wine in the the primary school renditions 
of "The Last Supper") is a local 'herbal' remedy for a sore throat.  
Works too!
