      One of the presidents died because he ate too many cherries and too much milk on a very hot day.

      It's possible the milk was contaminated, it's possible he was poisoned for opposing slavery, it's possible that they just caused a stomachache and the doctors feeding him mercury, anti-milarials, opium, ipecac, and bloodletting him did most of the work.
