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 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.
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.
