What actually happens to your body when you drink a can of Coca-Cola? Dr. West Conner explains all the effects of this brown soda on his website. Here’s what happens:
First 10 minutes: Ten teaspoons of sugar are introduced into the body. The body is unable to excrete them because the phosphates mask the taste of the poison.
After 20 minutes: Your liver has the immediate duty of converting available sugar into fat.
After 40 minutes: The caffeine in Coca-Cola has been fully absorbed by the body. Blood pressure increases, and the liver responds by releasing more sugar into the bloodstream.
After 45 minutes: Your body releases significantly more dopamine. This amplifies feelings of pleasure in your brain.
After 60 minutes: Phosphate binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the lower digestive system, further strengthening the digestive system
