The 80-year-old listener revealed on Prof. Rafi Carso's program on 103FM that she consumes an entire bottle a day of the carbonated drink "Bitter Lemon" by "Schwops". "I really like the drink. Can it be harmful if I drink one bottle a day? There are rumors that it helps with muscle spasms, doesn't it affect certain pills?", she asked with concern. Prof. Caruso calmed her down and explained that the drink does not affect her health and that she can continue drinking it.

The professor also pointed out that the drink, which consists among other things of the aromatic compound quinine, does help relieve muscle spasms and other symptoms. "People in swamp fever (malaria) areas receive quinine in pills. The origin of the drinks is from the English who were in India and contracted malaria. They wanted to give them quinine so they took drinks and put quinine in them and they became bitter," he added.
