Well Pepsi has a sweeter taste than Coke and Coke has a more bitter taste than Pepsi. So perhaps, by the reasoning in the article, people who prefer Coke are more likely to be the sort of people who enjoy eating vegetables. Or perhaps there is some other genetic difference between Coke preferers and Pepsi preferers which affects life expectancy.
So there might be a statistically significant difference in lifespan between Coke drinkers and Pepsi drinkers.
Clarify?

Is Coke actually more bitter? I agree it’s a bit less sweet. But I’m not sure that PTC-tasters and non-PTC-tasters experience Coke differently.
