What Happens to Your Body Within an Hour of Drinking a Coke?
Need a dose of energy? I stumbled upon this article about drinking coke. I have never been big on soda and after reading this I am grateful.
Drinking soda is bad for your health in so many ways; science can’t even state all the consequences. Here’s what happens in your body when you assault it with a Coke:
Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100% of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don’t vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.
Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.
Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.
Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain – a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.
After 60 minutes, you’ll start to have a sugar crash.

When I began my journey towards improved health about four years ago, the first thing I did was remove soda from my diet (it was a daily occurrence). My increased energy, coupled with weight loss, were incredible. One small thing that made huge difference. Today, I rarely have soda. As well, the rest of my family has very little soda as well.
I do, though, drink coffee and tea. Maybe it’s worth looking into “The Feast Supercharged”…
omg, I dont drink soft drinks as a rule but i swear i am so not gonna drink them anymore.
Thanks a lot. I found this site extremely useful. I too am trying to lose weight
When I was a kid, I picked a book up off my Grandfathers bookshelf called “Sugarcane Blues” and read it. It was about the effects of sugar on people in the United States based the effects of people who had never had it. The control group was an African tribe who had been given sugar by missionaries. The poor kids, who after having been given a candy bar, ran around as if they were on drug, (they were), screaming, yelling, fighting, crying…..
Of course now we use HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and its not just in candy, but in everything that we eat. HFCS not only effects us (obesity, diabetes…), but it effects our environment through trying to grow more corn per acre (g.m.o seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, runnof,killing fish and instects) to our society (high worldwide corn and grain prices….)
Excellent article, thanks.

Lance, very true a small change like this can make a world of difference!
Tazeen, thanks for stopping by and good luck with your weight loss!
Adam, couldn’t agree more. I read a study that sugar is more addictive than cocaine! I had no idea how bad the corn was until I had a friend who was allergic, she literally could not eat anything out of a box or worse go out to eat because we put corn in just about everything these days.
Great article, I would have been timid mentioning an actual brand name in the title, but as long as it is all factual I guess they can’t complain. It’s true that simply dropping soft drinks form your diet and drinking more water can help you lose kilos with months.
Excellent post about soda. People drink way too much of it and it’s terrible for your health. Most people just don’t consider how it negatively impacts their health.
