What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.

* 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 dialate, 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.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel
better.

w00t.gif This made me laugh for about five minutes just thinking about Pepsi and Coke and their Propagandist Spies flooding the internet with stories about the other's products... doesn't seem as funny as I type this, but man, it was a good laugh....

Uh, just to let everyone know (hope it doesn't ruin anyone's day) this happens anytime a person consumes a large serving of sugar and caffeine (yeah, that goes for Mountain Dew too, sorry). This is why it's not a good idea to drink/eat straight sugar and caffeine in excess.

Hmmm...I think I'll go and have a brownie and a cup of coffee now! linked-image

Well if I want to drink anything carbonated (mainly Bass Pale Ale) I have to come off my medicine for a day or it effects the way carbonated items taste.

So I drink water or tea and indulge with Bass only on occasion. wink2.gif

Great! Now, I've got to hunt down a Pepsi! disgust.gif

I'm a Pepsi drinker not Coke. Never have been. For me, it's how it tastes & the carbonation that does the trick. I know, it's all a chemical reaction. But I like it! w00t.gif

Sounds like we take the same thing. I always thought I craved soda more for the sweet taste, but now that it tastes like plastic I still crave it. blink.gif

-They've come out with CC with a hint of Lime..CC with a hint of Lemon...CC with a hint of Cherry....& CC with a hint of Vanilla(& NO! I do NOT think that CC with Vanilla, tastes like:"Dr Pepper"!!)
When are they gunna come out with Coca-Cola with a hint of Pepsi-Cola?!
Here, Down Under, We got "Passiona"!!(Passion fruit)that's Our national drink!
But, if I were to give up Diet Coca-Cola?! I'd have to give up, Chinese Take-Away, too, 'cause that's the ONLY thing that'll wash the MSG down with!!
I DID hear a dude in a Fish&Chip(Fries to Our American cousins)shop, the other day, refuse an imported can of CC, stating that the water used in it's production, overseas, is sub-standard...
In Western Australia, They drink a Schooner of "Stout"(Black, Bitter)Beer mixed with CC...it's kinda like an Alcoholic Milkshake!!
We got a taste of "Dr Pepper" some years back & I loved the Diet Dr Pepper, but as usual, if it's not popular with the vast majority, they shelve it, Auction what's left. & I've had "Palestine Cola", too!

Yep. Not really working anymore, gonna find a new neuro and go off it. Mine retired, but I swear it had nothing to do with me... innocent.gif

I never got the hang of those strange flavored coke/pepsi drinks. I tried the vanilla not too long ago and I'm sure it would have tasted like plastic without the Topomax... nasty.
Kesenai Tsumi
Oh geez. I think I'm not going to drink coke again for a long, long while. o_o
Ciraxis

In that order, but not together, unless I've had too much of the latter
