Thanks to blistree we find out the ways Coke
intake damages your health in 60 minutes of
intake.
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. (And 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 liver 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) (a) 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.
(b) 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
(c) 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.
