What happens when you drink a Coke.
Permalink  
 

I don't know anyone who thinks Coke is good for you, but still, this is pretty eye-opening. After reading this, you will definitely think twice before cracking open another can. (Especially after similarities with heroin show up at the 45-minute mark.)

  1. 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.
  2. 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. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
  3. 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
  4. 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.
  5. >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.
  6. >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, electrolyte and water.
  7. >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, urinated all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

This graphic was put together by former U.K. pharmacist Niraj Naik, also known as the Renegade Pharmacist.

I saw this the other day.

They left one off.

8. Repeat as necessary.

When anyone starts getting on my back about my cokes I tell them I'm going to drink my cokes until I physically cant. Leave me the heck alone about it.

I've given up everything else. Leave my cokes alone.

You think that's true (or mostly true) for all sodas, or just Coke?

Bless your heart....wink

 

Here in the South ANYTHING carbonated...ANYTHING...is a Coke.  Orange Crush (Coke), Dr. Pepper (Coke), Pepsi (Coke).

If you go through a drive thru and ask for a large Coke, the will respond with, "what kind".

 Well, not all sodas contain phosphoric acid - only the dark sodas.  It's probably true for all dark sodas. 

And I wouldn't be caught dead calling anying but Coke, Coke.  Even 15 years in the South can't do that to me.

I've given it up. Took a drink of one the other day and almost threw up.

I stopped drinking them for about a year.

I hated it.

Never got passed wanting one. Craved them the whole time.

Newsflash--soda pop is bad for you. Same story for the past 40 years. Yawn.

I was addicted to Coke...and I'm from the south and I never call anything else Coke. Coke is Coke, Pepsi is Pepsi (which is gross BTW...yuck!). Everyone used to say, "You can pour Coke on your battery cables to clean them, eeewwww!" I.DO.NOT.CARE!!!!!

However, I am now a diet Mountain Dew addict. I seriously cannot go without it.

 I did agree with you completely.  However, Pepsi is now making pepsi with REAL SUGAR instead of high fructose corn syrup.  You have to look closely at the bottle.  And that stuff is not bad.  Still not as good as the Coke made with real sugar - but you have to buy the Mexican glass bottle Cokes to get that.

When I went to infused water I had cravings for soda for a few days. Then it went away. I have had three two liter bottles of Pepsi on my counter for months. I also have a one liter bottle of Pepsi in the back of my fridge. And I have an eight pack of the seven ounce cans. They are all sitting there. I have no desire to drink them. The other day I thought I'd open a seven ounce can and try it. I almost threw up. Took one sip and threw the rest away. It was horrible.

Take those soda bottles to a hospital, put them in the refrigerator in the doctors' lounge, with a "do not touch " sign on them.

They'll be gone in a couple of hours.

 Yes. And it cuts through grime build up, sea spray, corroded battery cables and oil on the drive way.

Did you know stomach acid eats through metal?

Which metals should I be adding to my diet?
