Although Coke and sodas are a favorite for people all over the world, sodas are something that slowly changes our health and can lead into a number of diseases from the high amount of processed sugar. Starting from the first 10 minutes after a can of Coke is consumed, until an hour or more, a pharmacist explains what happens within the body.
MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Information reflected on the infographic published by The Renegade Pharmacist was collected and analyzed by the blog's administrator, Niraj Naik, a UK pharmacist, backed up by other researches, according to the Daily Mail.
10 minutes: Sugar equivalent to 100 percent of the daily recommended intake hits the system but because of the phosphoric acid, the individual does not vomit from the sweetness.
20 minutes: Insulin burst happens as blood sugar rises, then liver will turn sugar into fat.
40 minutes: Caffeine is completely absorbed. "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."
