Apart from addictive as cocaine or heroin, fizzy drinks are also full of sugar that are harmful for the health. Have you ever wondered what sweetened carbonated drinks does to your body when you’re drinking them? The internet portal Truth Theory made a graph based on research. They showed what happens in the body one hour after we drink a soda.

These are the results:



In the first 10 minuteswas found 10 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than enough dose for the entire day.
20 minutesThe blood sugar causes a rush of insulin and the liver is working extra hard to convert that sugar into fat
40 minutes Caffeine is completely absorbed, pupils dilated, your blood pressure rises, and the liver releases sugar into the bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in the brain are blocked, inhibiting sleepiness.
45 minutes Your body produces dopamine, which stimulates the pleasure centers in the brain, similar to heroin.
60 minutes Phosphoric acid binds with calcium, magnesium and zinc in the lower part of the intestine and stimulate the metabolism. That is even more complex due to the high quantities of sugar and artificial sweeteners which increase the excretion of calcium. Caffeine has diuretic properties and it makes you urinate more frequently so that you lose sodium, electrolytes and water from the body. There is a drop in the sugar level in your body and you become irritable and lethargic. Except the fact that you have lost fluids, you even lose the substances which are useful in strengthening your bones and teeth.

Scientific explanation:

Coca-Cola does not only contain a large amount of corn syrup, but also salt and caffeine. Also, they contain sodas which are full of acids and can cause damage to both tooth enamel, leading to cavities and artificial colors that can stain teeth. Only one tin can contains 39 grams of sugar.

Pharmacist Dr. Sameer Pate explains that the more we drink soda, the more damage is increased that can occur to the teeth. It takes only 20 seconds for the bacteria to start producing acid in the mouth and it can eat away the enamel to half an hour. If it only takes you 30 minutes to drink everything, then the harm to the teeth is pointedly extended. Sugarless chewing gum helps reduce acid in the mouth.

Regular consumption of large quantities of carbonated drinks tends to increase chances for heart disease, blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes.

These Coca-Cola facts may shock you, but they are good indicator of why it should be avoided – says nutritionist Ella Allred.

The caffeine in Coca-Cola destroys certain receptors in the brain that make us feel cautious and awake. After the effect of the brew, we become dehydrated, sleepy, and tired. Sugar and caffeine stimulate the same pleasure centers in the brain as cocaine and heroin and it makes us want to consume more of the drink.
