What Drinking A Can Of Coca-Cola does To Your Body

This is terrible news for soda drinkers. The Renegade Pharmacist, Niraj Naik, has outlined the health issues and alarming findings.

On his blog Truth Theory, Niraj Naik encourages you to watch what happens when somebody drinks a can of Coke or any similar sugary caffeine drink...

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.

A can of Coke is high in high fructose corn syrup, refined salts and caffeine. Regular consumption can lead to higher blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

According to The Theory a recent Gallup poll reveals that 48 percent of surveyed Americans  – nearly half! still drink soda on a daily basis. What’s more, among those who drank soda, the average daily intake was 2.6 glasses per day.
