WHAT COKE DO TO YOUR BODY:-
In the first 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your
recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming
sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor, allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this
by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (And there’s plenty of that at this
particular moment.)
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate; your blood pressure rises;
as a response, your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine
receptors in your brain are now blocked, preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production, stimulating the pleasure centers of
your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way
.
> 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower
intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of
sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
> 60 minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to
pee.)
It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium, and zinc that was
headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water.
> 60 minutes: As the rave inside you dies down, you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You
may
become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that
was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have
used for things like hydrating your system, or building strong bones and teeth.
This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a
smoker.) Want to know what happens after that? Check out what happens to your body
after you drink a coke, every day for a long time.
Coke itself isn’t the enemy here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined
with caffeine and phosphoric acid, which are found in almost all sodas. Moderation, people!
