What Coke Does To Your Body in 60 minutes
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.
