Don't kid yourself; two cans a day is a LOT in the course of a lifetime. Just think about what coke is... not really something the body is designed to be consuming, let alone on a regular basis. That it is carcinogenic doesn't surprise me one bit. The old woman you mentioned is an outlier and probably has a combination of genetic longevity and other, healthier habits than her coke one that have allowed her to live so long.
