We’ve all heard rumours of what Coca Cola does to the human body, but
now someone has reportedly worked out exactly what it does to our
insides - and if right, it isn't pretty.
The Renegade Pharmacist, a blog run by pharmacist Niraj Naik includes a seven-step breakdown of the drink's supposed effects.
Within 10 minutes of drinking one 330ml can of regular coke, 10
teaspoons of sugar will rush into your internal system, which is two and
a half more than the recommended allowance for one day.
The sugar hit is so intense, he says, that you would normally vomit, but
for the phosphoric acid which inside the coke ‘cuts the flavour’ so you
can keep the liquid down.
In the next 40 minutes or so your pupils will dilate, your blood sugar will spike and you’ll get a huge caffeine hit.
After 60 minutes and the ‘rave’ inside of you is complete, you will
crash, need to urinate, and become irritable. You’ll probably want
another coke.
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. (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 livers 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, electrolyte and water.
>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, 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 even having the ability to hydrate your system or
build strong bones and teeth
